Sat 13th

We survived yet another front this morning. At least it held off until dawn. The wind blew at 28+K and the rain pelted down. We had some thunder and lightning but most of that moved north of us. Following the blow we had a wonderful sunny warm day. The wind was a little strong but that just helped to dry our laundry.

Jane took a walk on the island to see some blow-holes with Isabelle and her two children from our sister ship 'Sea Walk" and Peter babysat pretzel and started a new book. This one is about a crazy guy who kyaked around Ireland. We have given some thought to sailing around Ireland but doing it in a kyak is not very appetising to us. This evening, as on every Sat. evening at the park, people gather on the beach and bring an appetizer and whatever they want to drink and

have a social hour or two. If weather permits the park ranger lights a bonfire and a good time is had by all.

Today we have seen several very large Rays swimming near our boat and Jane saw a large Sea Turtle while standing on the swim platform of Sea Walk. We are happy to spend some more time here and will wait to get a clear weather window early next week before moving on.
