You are right, it can't get better. I wish it wasn't going to end with storms today. I know you saw us yesterday, we saw you wave, but did you see us the day before??

No sorry we didn't see you the day before. Next time come on in or swing by. We just launched our restored and new to us Cape Dory. I was working on it when you cruised by. We waved and we saw you wave. Maybe we can sail down to visit or take our very fast Bennington.

Sorry folks we will take this conversation off line.

I saw your Cape Dory and thought it was new! Very pretty! Yes please, cruise down one way or the other. I won't say any more here.

Interesting that there are three Cape Dory sailboats in Winter Harbor alone! (One with a Westerbeke).

We haven't seen as many Loons (or any other birds) this season. But while sailing yesterday morning, one gave the Loon's "warning call"—followed by a second Loon with the exact-same call. I looked up, expecting to see a Bald Eagle, but they were all stressed-out about a Cessna 180!



(The call is a yodeled "Ow"—as in "ouch"—a'OOO).

The loons do not like planes at all. They screech every time one goes over. They are not used to it anymore since the airport closed. (probably not the same loons anyway.)
