Aug. 11th - Prideaux Haven

Got up a little after 7am & it was 59'.  It's going to be a beautiful day - already bright blue sky with just a few patchy clouds.  I forgot to mention that we also had stir fried rice with peas & egg in it - very good as well.

Vanessa & I went out at 10am to paddle & were gone a little over an hour.  Right before I left Shadow was outside & was wandering around.  He went out again in the afternoon & wandered around & spent time on the flybridge.  Whenever he heard a splash it seemed to scare him.  There was a dog on the island behind us & the boy with hi was trying to get him to go in the water which eventually he did.  But at first the boy was throwing rocks into the water & then a branch that he was trying to get the dog to chase.  Later Vanessa came in to tell us about a friend & she splashed her paddle which scared Shadow too.  I think that's probably a good thing.

This afternoon we went over to the boat that Jan Harper & skipper, Diane Lander, are on & got a tour.  It's an old wooden boat that was built in 1928 at Lake Union Shipyard & is called a Lake a Union Dreamboat.   It's 42' & is beautiful inside - it's named Marian II & that's the original name.

We've decided to stay here until at least Sunday as the weather is supposed to be in the 80's for at least a week.  

It got up to 80' today.  We had our cocktails on the flybridge as it was still very warm.  Tonight we barbecued hamburgers with cheese & ate the leftover Cole slaw & bean salad.
