Monday morning we woke to fog so we started preparing for our overnight company. By the time we finished and popped our heads out the fog was gone replaced by blue sky & sunshine. Pat & Lynn Atchinson arrived from their son's home. They come every August to the USA to visit their son & wife on Cape Cod. We found overnight parking then came out to the boat. It was so beautiful that Lynn and Jane went kayaking around the harbor for about 1.5 hours. Peter and Pat followed in the dingy to keep tabs on them. Pretzel started off in the kayak but switched to the dingy after a while. It was a hot day!!! We relaxed on the boat and the boys caught up with old news. Pat and Peter were in boarding school Dublin and did not meet up again until their 40th hig
h school reunion in 2007. We make a point to get together once a year now.

That evening we had planned for shrimp & cocktails and the Yankee cookout of hamburgs and hot dogs. We were joined by Donal & Bridget Gleeson, who returned to Boothbay for the night. We also invited John & Diane from s/v Edelweiss, who we met for the first time 2 years ago in Boothbay Harbor. It was a fun night. Dessert was a Maine blueberry pie from Bridget and a chocolate Victoria sponge cake made by Lynn. Yummy!!!!

Pleased to see that you're sailing and 'Blogging' again, We followed your progress on Google Earth today. We saw a black squirrel in the garden here this morning. I didn't know that there was such a thing. I have also downloaded 'Picasa' onto my laptop and have been playing with it. Hope the fog keeps at bay and doesn't slow your progress. Love Pat & Lynn XXX
