DAY 23 — Tuesday, Sep 19, 2023
Hard rain and high gusts of wind from the start at Elmira to the midpoint at the Lighthouse—I became so cold that I sensed I was losing control of my legs and hands. I felt I was at my limit—I arrived at the lighthouse gift shop just in time. As an exception, they served me a mug of hot tea and gave me a chair to sit down—very sweet of them. A half hour rest got me going again.
The wind turbines were turning vigorously in the area just before arriving at the lighthouse. I met a couple at the gift shop and the lady coincidentally had a sister living in Ventura—small world! And to top it off, while in the gift shop, they issued me a tip-to-tip certificate; it celebrates a successful journey from one tip of PEI to the other.
