On and in the water today, at least a wee bit.

Perfectly calm all morning, so we fiddled with the first official, stepping-stone part of the pier. And, we boarded the Susie Pea to look for the concrete block that we left last fall to mark the far end. Having found that, we decided to venture forth and search for the holy grail—the big concrete block that has for many years been the anchor for Heliotrope's mooring. Search as we did last year, it remained unfound. But today, in spite of an ill-timed breeze and consequent ripples, Sue found it. It is now buoyed, and it will not be lost again. Sue also cleaned and pressure washed the Windrider, and with the new rudder I installed yesterday, she is ready for a wet bottom.
