Lobster Buoys

Fri, Jul 27

Used the last of our wood this morning for a fire. Relaxed around it for a while. Bid goodbye to our neighbors from Kentucky. A couple with 5 kids—mostly older kids. Really nice family. Mike helped them with their rental motor home a couple of times when they had problems. Then we put our packs together and headed over to Sand Beach. We hiked the Ocean Trail which started at Sand Beach and ended at Otter point. A perfect day—warm and sunny with not a cloud in the sky. The water was deep blue and was beautiful against the pink granite rocks and cliffs. Two miles to Otter Point and we had our lunch. Then hiked back. Lots of people around on the rocks. Is it my imagination, or are the leaves turning? Time to head south I think. Got back and took a shower and washed my hair. Boy did that feel good! Then I heated up left-overs for dinner—which isn’t easy without a microwave. Had dinner and then we filled the water tank. Mike emptied some out of the grey water tank, took it to the dump station, and we ran the generator for a couple of hours. Settled down with my book about the journal of a sea captain’s wife. Pretty interesting. She was pretty racy for her day.
