Well we didn’t get to shore today either. We were up early, ready to go, and Ethan called. He felt that the seas were still too high and didn’t think it was a good idea to go ashore today. No problem. I went back to the house and back to bed. Brenda couldn’t go back to sleep so she stayed up, ate breakfast, watched TV and worked on her puzzle.

I eventually got up and, after breakfast went to the shop to get the mower. The grass was still a little wet but I tried to mow anyway. Not much clumping and the blades were cutting fine, so I continued to cut grass for the next few hours. When I got done at the top I went to the cove and cut that area also, although I did not get to cut the camping area. That will have to wait for another day.

Worked in the shop for a while. Brenda was still working on the puzzle. Fog lifted around 1900 and it was beautiful outside. The fog was below us and off in the distance. Wisps of it were moving across the setting sun. Waves were crashing on the beach below. Surrounding islands and the mainland were alternately covered and uncovered in the mist. Hard to describe and I took a few pictures.

In the afternoon we saw what appeared to be a white rainbow. It was an arc of white stretching from north to south and ending in the waves. I guess it was an anomaly caused by light reflecting off the droplets of moisture in the air.

Brenda finished the puzzle. We intend to mount these puzzles and hang them on the walls. Both are nice pictures of, guess what….lighthouses!

We will try once again to go ashore tomorrow. We hope this happens because we are running out of supplies!
