Ken and I stayed home. Neither of us are stable walking on dry land, let alone on a boat. Today our neighbors, Wendy and Clausen, invited the Gull Bay Group on a boat trip, cruising the shore in a brand new lobster boat owned by Mike, a lobsterman who lives across the lake. When the boat came to our bay, it stopped right in front of our house and I waved and rang the dinner bell. They cruised up the river to Liverpool, calling friends on the phone as they passed their homes. Evidently it was great fun.
Lanes provided the picnic lunch which Rita and Ian reported was excellent. In fact the whole journey was a delight. They all met at the dock in Port Mouton at 11:00 and returned home at 4:30, so they spent most of the day on the boat. No one got sick and the fog came and went. When the boat was in front of our house there was no fog but as they drove away the boat disappeared into the fog.
Ken and I were sorry to miss the boat trip but we did not feel deprived. We took a hot tub and watched one of our new videos, given to us by Dave and Irene. We would have enjoyed seeing the boat which is brand new, rigged up with all the fancy technology. It is 52 feet long and 25 feet wide and is very steady as it churned through the waves. Now we wish Mike a successful lobster season ahead. He made 12 people very happy today.
