Pete, his wife Alex, Jarrett, and I all made it to the top of this lookout in less than 30 minutes from where we docked the boat. The storm rolled in stronger as the ride went on but that didn’t slow down the fun. The place is steep and mountainous but the pedal assist E-bikes helped us pack in a ton of riding despite the heavy rains.

At the end of a big ride we were looking for a dry space and a couple large pizzas to crush.

Unfortunately, restaurants on small islands don’t always provide reliable service. The chef had left for the day and there was only 1 slice sitting there in a glass display beside the cash register. Pete claimed it and I ate a sandwich I had packed with me, but the mud-covered smiles say everything- this day was ultimate.

Contemplating our next move post-ride. These small Marina’s usually don’t have a fresh water source, there was only a salt water hose and we had to clean off before jumping back in the boat. An extra change of clothes and KAVU fleece happened to be key for the trip home.

What normally would have been a boring, rainy Sunday was transformed into something epic thanks to the S.S funship!

Where will it take us next?

Ahead for more KAVU days, no doubt!!
