A great weekend

All the boats in a row on this glassy calm morning
We are back from the fabulous weekend.  I am too tired to post anything coherent, but I can post a few photos. It was a lot of fun.  We had all kinds of good food and a St. Patrick's Day bonfire with green marshmallows for roasting.  Sitting around a campfire after a day on the water is just plain wonderful.

Early morning walk with Amelia. There were 5 and 10 K races on the beach. We decided to just walk!

Heading home
The sky turned dark as we were heading home.  Lightening was all around, but we managed to make it home without getting wet.  It all just added to a beautiful day.  Lots to be grateful for--friends, food, fun, fire, sleep, and boats.

I'm off to get some rest.  Hope that you had a good day.

    Beautiful pics Syd -- Amelia is a sweetheart. Those trees look like fossilised bone.

    So much like Dog Island. I think you would love that place, just as I would love where you were.

    Good Morning enjoy your photos. Was wondering about the Heading home shot. Who was manning the boat?

    Di-Git, we took turns on the way back. It looks like my wife at the helm! She is a good navigator.

    Love knowing that you were sun and weekend worn, and yet you still made time to share... Our trip to the new home location... left me a bit speechless and getting our current house in shape for moving... alas, will limit my words...

    Not to mention my arm, setting writing limits for me.

    Rest well on your lovely coastline... letting the waves of St. Patty's pass..
