03/25/22 Samish Island Breakdown

We intended to explore Samish Island, but halfway up the hill on the island, my seat post snapped off. I managed to keep control and stop, and Judy, holding my saddle and her handlebars connected to nothing, managed to stay on the bike, get unclipped, and dismount without falling off the bike backwards. A kind islander spotted us, turned around, and gave me a ride back to camp to get the van. We loaded up, drove into Burlington and picked up a new seat post at the bike shop. All fixed, ready for shakedown, adjustments, and another ride another day.
