Broken Wing Routine
We heard that birds will lure potential prey away from a nest with a fake distress show. Perhaps we also know people who put on such displays to get attention. Well those folks should take lessons from this little Killdeer. Its nest was on boat yard gravel under a trailered boat in storage. We walked […]
Sunday Racing
Sunday on Narragansett Bay has the promise of big doings. The schedule is full but it’s still early in the season so we wake up to almost white out fog conditions. Committee boats are out to set up races before the fog starts to lift but lift it does. Always busy on Sunday but no […]

Treasure Island to Brunswick (May 2, 2011 to May 10, 2011)
I think I left us in Charleston on my final post of 2010. We didn’t actually stay there all winter. We continued moving south with our troublesome inverters. They weren’t performing correctly so we couldn’t use our cook-top, but other than that we …
Storm Cells
