It felt good to sleep in until 7:30 am and we awoke to a lovely morning with blue skies and temperatures already close to 70°F. Maureen finished cleaning and cutting vegetables for salad and then gathered up the laundry, computers and other items we wanted to take with us to Craig and Dawn’s today. Gale and Lucy took the dinghy out for an hour or so to see what the fishing was like. Gale caught and released at least 10 more trout and brought home two sand perch for our dinner. While he was out, he also hooked either a three-foot long King Mackerel or a Ladyfish that pulled him around in the dinghy, upwind, and for several feet. The fish jumped completely out of the water, danced on the ripples, and shook the jig right out of her mouth. It was a thrill, to say the least.
Craig picked us up at the marina at 11 am and we drove back to their home to relax and enjoy the day. This time Lucy was allowed to come along and she was very excited to meet her “cousins,” Sophie and Brody. Maureen brought all the fixings for a nice salad luncheon which we enjoyed first thing. We spent the afternoon visiting, doing laundry, working on the computers, watching television and just “hanging out.” Towards five o’clock, we ordered barbecued entrees from Sonny’s and topped off the meal with a little ice cream and some very tasty cookies.
Craig took us home after dinner and we sat out on the foredeck for an hour or so enjoying the warm and quiet evening. We reflected on what a wonderful weekend it had been and looked forward to the next time we could share our time with Craig and Dawn.
