Next we rode into Hartford. The story goes that insurance started here because the boats were very competitive coming into port because the first boat in got to set the market price for the day. Boats behind would cannon the boat in front and sink it to get in front of it!

This path had been under water from snow melt so we were lucky it was dry enough to ride through

Beverly and Barbara are advocates for the ECG. It was so nice to meet them. Dave was rding with them today. We talked so long I had to call John to let him know we would be later than we thought.
