big girl pants, boat, camping, day seven, dock, fishing, fun, loons, seagulls, smoke-filled skies, weather, widow

such odd weather today… cool when we first got up but it was fairly warm and sunny as we left the channel…

then the sky turned gray and it cooled off while we were fishing… we docked the boat to go back to the campsite for lunch and then headed out again…

we saw loons, a parent and child, I think and many, many seagulls… no eagles or turtles…

we spent about six hours on the water fishing… some of us caught nothing…

but we still had lots of fun…

camping, day six…

such a busy day…

up by seven, had a fire to warm up, ate breakfast and headed out to fish…

saw turtles swimming, eagles flying, loons fishing and even a deer grazing… at one point four eagles were circling overhead…

fish were caught and one of the Jack fish was 31″ long…

in for lunch and then we spent the afternoon tubing on our new 3 person BodyGlove with a bit of kneeboarding thrown in for good measure…

we had some friends with us and the mom and I took a turn on the tube… and I am still alive to tell the story, lol…

back to the campsite for burgers, a quick visit to the Marina looking for lures and now the dog and I are back at the camper while the boys have gone to play bingo…

going to sleep well tonight…
