Yesterday afternoon I was invited for lunch on the patio deck at V Dock. Eric & Sheila and John and Barb had brought tons of food and set everything up on the picnic tables. There was pizza slices, ham, salad, cheeses, olives, French bread, fresh rolls, salad, and lots of conversation. I asked what they wanted me to bring and they said, nothing. Anyway, I brought along a bottle of wine which they were quite happy with.
Afterward, I took Eric and Anne, another friend of theirs, for a dinghy ride out into Midland Bay. There was no doubt Eric enjoyed himself immensely as is evidenced by that huge smile.
The anchor roller and swim ladder are supposed to arrive today and I hope to get the anchor roller installed in between the rain. In fact, it is raining now. Also, I have requested that an additional 100 feet of rope be spliced on to the existing 100 feet of chain. The Sea Wolf anchor windlass can handle both rope and chain.
I have noticed this year that most of the Canada Geese broods around here are small in number, usually around three or four goslings. In the past they have numbered around nine or ten on average.
I’m not complaining, mind you, because they do make a mess. Did you know that an adult goose poops every seven minutes? Well they do according to a Government survey conducted some years ago.
