Aug. 4th - Prideaux Haven

I was up a little after 7am & it was 62' - it's going to be a beautiful day!

We've decided to stay here until at least Wed. next week.  My Canadian cousin who I met up here several years ago is coming on Monday & a friend who I've known since we were on the ballet board together will be here on Tues.  She is helping a woman from SYC run her boat this summer.  Her husband passed away & she still wanted to go boating.

This morning I went kayaking with Carol Silhan.  My first time out as the weather has not cooperated.  I also heard from the Finches that they are heading our way from Garden Bay so hopefully we'll get to see them too.

We were over visiting Maggie in the raft & we saw Malibu (yacht club member, 100' boat) coming in by us - between us & 2 other boats rafted near us (Jerry Morris's son is on 1 of them).  As we were watching, I told Rod we needed to go back to our boat because they were really close to us & I thought they were going to crunch my kayak which was on the starboard side of our boat.  As we watched them trying to do 2 stern ties, we could see them putting big bumpers out between our boats as they were so close.  I'm yelling at them & my captain tells me to stop, then he eventually was yelling at them to cut their stern ties.  It was very hairy watching🙀🙀🙀.  The owner (he was in their dinghy with the girls doing the stern lines) said if there was any damage to our boat he would pay for it.  Jeff Morris & his friend came over in their dinghy & looked to see if there was any damage & fortunately there wasn't.  

The boys went fishing today & caught quite a few so we're going over at 7pm for a fish fry!  We're bringing salad.  We also had potatoes, bread & ice cream with apple pie which was left from last night.
