2 dolpohins; 8 seals!

        The sunrise with the crescent moon a little blurred - it is with my camera, taken by me.

        Ben kayaking in Maine between the islands, our sailboat is casting a shadow on the rocks. if you look hard you can see my shadow in the sailboat.                                 Ben being brave and checking the zinc and the propellor. The propeller needed some de-barnicaling.         How cold do you think it is by his face.  It's not that cold he was posing for the camera.        It's not bad for Ben.  I got in up to my waist, good enough for me.        Ben doing the ballet leg for synchronized swimming, I give him a 5.5.                           Darn those barnacles! 

Animal count: 8 seals, 2 dolphins!

We were again in the duldrums and here came these two playful dolphin they circled the boat 3 times and then figured we were not very fast and not very playful so they left.  Then sailing up to Snow Island, a long skinny passage… humm let me say I heard seals and Ben did not believe me. He said, “You have seals on the brain… just because you are using the “seals” meaning Rebecca’s family camping pads doesn’t mean you heard seals.”  Then I said, “There they are!!! Seals!!”  “No those are birds”  “Look again seals!” sure enough there were 8 seals sunning them selves.  So cute 3 of them had their back fins high in the air as if to say, “look at me I have beautiful flippers!”

Today was a great day sail with south winds 5-15, then the winds turned east at the time we needed to head north! How perfect is that.  The winds were light so it took us an enjoyably slow sail up north.

There is internet but very slow. I’ll post this and call it a day.

We are anchored among islands, rocks, and Ben has his music playing sweetly to give this evening a peaceful calm as the sun sets.  Good night all Blessings and Health to you all.  All means All.
