Early morning

My watch alarm went off at 4:30 this morning. I slipped out of my bunk, dressed, and loaded the boat -- with seat cushions, life jackets, tackle and bait and, of course, the ever-present camera. THEN I woke Tal. Outwardly grumpy and inwardly pleased is how I would describe him. We pulled quietly away from the dock just before 5:00.

And, as you can see, the sun is showing itself rather spectacularly at the beginnig of this longest day of the year and the first day of summer.


As I write this it's 8:45. Breakfast is over and Tal's walked back to the cabin for a nap! More later.
