20090722: the true porpose of this trip

a day of recovery of health after our little adventure up the antipoison creek (of which pam filled you in on the details yesterday)... (did she mention her health need, our long dinghy ride, tying up on another's property, the long walk, the drug store, the take out ribs place, jimmy carter, the jag offer, dinner at the picnic table, the long dinghy ride back, the amazing sunset, and ben sleeping outside, under the stars, on the deck of cricket? if not, let me know and i'll fill you in on the details).
this morning i was awakened by pam yelling something from the deck (by this time i had moved inside the
cabin to finish off my sleep, because the wind had died this morning, and the mosquitoes were taking over the great out of doors). i woke to her yelling, very excitedly, "dolphins! dolphins!" i bounced outside (as much as i can "bounce" first thing in the morning, which isn't much), and there they were. dolphins! probably a half a dozen or more! it was so much fun to watch there fins and tails and blowholes surface and go back down! i can't wait to go sailing with them. we must be truly in the southern end of the chesapeake now.
today was watching the crabbers, watching the locals, swimming, jumping off the bowsprit, reading, napping, eating and ended with a sweet sunset walk on the nearby sandy beach with a very happy owen, who gets to run free on this secluded beach, and chase little crabs into their sand holes. pam's feeling way better! t'was a good day. we're all very happy!

sailing tomorrow!
