Even though the wind blew strongly overnight, by the time we set out it had died down to about 8 - 10 knots and we shook out yesterday's reef and had a relaxing sail south in Pine Island Sound. We docked at Tween Waters on Captiva Island, which we had visited one time before. The entrance channel is very shallow and narrow, but we managed to get in without running aground. After lunch we assembled the tandem bike and set out on a ride which was shortened by mechanical problems. Whatever was causing the strange jerky resistance in the cranks, the symptom suddenly went away, so we still don't know what the problem was. We picked up our backpacks and rode to a nearby small store for a few grocery items, and returned to the boat for cocktails and dinner aboard.
