Road Trip
Mad dash for haircuts, mail, yard and garden check , and essential supplies.
The Many Moods of Mudge
Flat calm at bedtime, roaring surf at 4 am. Some people got surprised. Coffee with the Ellen’s, cocktails at Pinebox. No swimming, sailing, or paddling, but who cares given everything else?

And, for breakfast, the world famous Bear omelette.
Pollinator Garden
Limitless volunteer goldenrod, thrumming with life, right off the main deck. Perhaps a half dozen different pollinators very busy at work.
Deflated
Sand tools and bug nets put away.
Sail Race…
…Windrider vs 29 foot high performance cruiser (being singlehanded).
We we’re headed out towards Gooseberry when we caught sight of a boat coming down the bay towards the marina. Upon closing we turned, and the race was on.
Wind going light prevented our victory.
How Do You Summarize a Day Like This?
Cloudy, sunny, warm and cool, here and there.
Cloudy and Cool…
…but so what?
Providence Bay…
…on a warm and sunny day.

Early Morning Departure
…after what on this end seemed like a great week. Always a sad time, but one that reminds you to look forward.
Most photos by Mimi.
Too Few Hours…
…but everything shoehorned in.
Rain Day…
…after a nice morning. And, of course, rain day equals pizza day.
Over an inch of rain wins the bet Bubbas out of luck
The bet was less than halve an inch of rain or more. Bubba bet less he lost but the forest gained.
Thanks to Maddie for the help on the blogs

Landfall On Gooseberry
Heliotrope out for a cruise, among other things
The Wind Abates…
…and the fun continues.
Clouds Give Way…
…to sun. But even cloudiness provides opportunities.
More Fun…
…on a day of clouds and wind—after a night of significant rain.
Raccoon Poop?
Guess Who’s Here
Let the photos tell the story
Blog help by Maddie.
Dramatic Sky…
…and a few of the clouds building high enough to produce brief showers.
Hefty and cool west wind now.
Unknown Visitor…
…anchored off the end of the pier. Probably seeking shelter from unsettled weather—thunderstorms sliding by just to the north (as usual).
Looks like a long distance traveler, maybe a Looper. I’ve decided to hold off on rolling out the cannon and firing a broadside.
Right now, two tree frogs chatting, one on my left and one on my right.

In other news, we had two visitors to the wood burning stove—bats—who were removed, though, unfortunately, a little too forcefully to insure their survival. Note to bats…we like you but please stay out of the stove.
Back To Sunny and Warm
Perfect weather—wind moderate (but building) from south west. Calm here in the lee.
