First sailboat on the bay.

Andrew (who is dock manager this year), along with Patrick and Bruce helped raise the mast, and it went up quickly and simply. Maybe we have it figured out.

And here, Pax and I are on our morning walk (he's getting a little ahead of himself).

And in poop news...
We are having a caterpillar infestation again this year and the poop is raining down—countless black specks coating every horizontal surface. (I remember sitting on the deck at Pinebox some years back and actually listening to the rustle of falling feces. Probably the same now.) Furthermore, Pax and I have on our beach walks discovered that yellow swallowtail butterflies and gulls have a kind of symbiotic relationship; we have observed, a number of times, singles or clusters of the the insects gathered around gull droppings apparently slurping them up.

And in pollen news...
The water along the shore is beginning to look like yellow paint, thanks to pine pollen.
