KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine (AP) -- Former President Bill Clinton joined his one-time political foe, former President George H.W. Bush, for a boat ride on the Atlantic Ocean after attending a book-signing Monday.
Clinton was seen kneeling to pet a dog when he arrived at Walker's Point, the summer home of George and Barbara Bush on Maine's rocky coast.
Later, Clinton and Bush waved to onlookers as they boated up and down a river before roaring into the ocean for a short ride in Bush's three-engine boat.
The 1992 election rivals became good friends when they led fund-raising as part of the relief effort for victims of the tsunami that hit Asia in December.
Bush extended the invitation after learning that Clinton would be in Maine for a book-signing.
Earlier, customers at a Borders bookstore in South Portland cheered when Clinton arrived to sign copies of his memoir, "My Life."
About 70 people already were in line when the store opened and the line snaked around three sides of the building by noon.
