Scenes from the weekend

We spent Saturday going out to the island anchorage in a heavy fog. It was calm though and made for enjoyable sleeping. Being in the fog is so disorienting but with GPS we were able to navigate without problems. It was a lot of fun and really peaceful.

We didn't get up until after 9 AM. Then we rowed the dinghy to shore, walked on the beach, and made a fire. After enjoying that for a few hours, we went back to Compass Rose for a great breakfast of steak, eggs, and grits.

Here are some photos from the weekend.




Tomorrow is back to a full work week. What a great weekend to end the holiday with.

  1. ........very lovely weekend. Thanks for the pictures..

    It was cold here in NYC but I bundled up and took a walk on the beach. It was very sunny out and not windy so it felt invigorating.

    The beaches are nicer in the winter since LESS people around. The SandPipers were running around.. and Seagull flying and the sound of the waves lapping on the sand was relaxing.

    Your posts are a good motive to focus on the POSITIVES...

    People that grew up in an alcoholic home ....we have to TEACH ourselves to do that.. to be HAPPY and FREE and JOYOUS.

  3. Great photos, thanks for sharing. Do you have multiple dogs, but just take one out with you? The dog person in me wonders how you manage the "crew" :-)
