Day 14- Marco..... Happy Birthday, Mom!

Hard to start...what a wonderful day.  Mimi fed us breakfast until everyone was in a food coma.  Ken and I went out at very low tide to set the crab pots and had quite an adventure.  Watch on the Discovery Channel- The Worlds Toughest Jobs!  We got one of the lines caught in the propeller and through skill, quick thinking and a lot of luck, we were able to recover the crab pot after it was severed from its float.  This afternoon we went back out at high tide to recover our crabs- not a great catch, but enough to pair with some steaks for dinner.  Weather was not great, but the company was fantastic.  Ken and Mimi's daughter, Doris came over and we had a nice visit, talked about old times and friends and in general relaxed and reminisced.  Tomorrow, off to Portland.

  1. I haven't commented recently but I've been following you! Sounds like there's no lack of adventure. Love the ferry story. I have a stupid GPS like yours, so can relate. Miss you and love you all!

  2. When the GPS is the guide and not the final authority all goes well.
    We are all missing you and looking forward to seeing you soon.
    Love Fer et al.
