Another beautiful day

We awoke to a foggy morning. I couldn't see the shore. It was eerily beautiful. And so quiet, with only the distant sound of the surf.

We eventually rowed to shore, walked on the beach and had a nice warm fire. Of course, I could not help but think about my old dog who would usually be right here next to the fire. Part of her ashes will be placed at the camp site. She will join a lot of other souls on this island that was the site of a ferocious battle during the Civil War.

We are enjoying this time on the boat. I included photos of what it looked like today. So much gratitude for our life, our love, and our recovery.

Oh Syd- it looks so much like here. You would be perfectly at home on Dog Island.

I am grateful too. For you and your wife having come through so much and for your being on this earth and being at this calm, good, grateful place.

Such wonderful pics Syd -- are those Royal or chusan fan palms behind the bushes? -- strange and lovely vegetation for me to see. And I know how you must miss your sweet dog.
