It's Not Just Bass!


Here we have a very nice-sized Bluegill, captured off the point deck last evening. My lady did the deed with an old-fashioned rod, reel, and worm.

THEY'RE BACK!





























The hibiscus are back..Were they planted by former owners? Did they drift in? Who knows--but they are a pretty sight.

Hammock Hints


With help from my grandson Lucas (visiting from Maine), we present the proper way to keep a hammock when not in use. Why?

Let them try their luck when the hammocks are edge up!
