Tuesday, September 1

Quiet, peaceful, serene. That’s what it is like early in the morning. The birds don’t start squawking until sun up. The wind is calm and so is the sea. No clouds and the stars are shining bright. We saw the moon set from our bed at 0230 this morning. A nice cool wisp of sea air filters in through the window. This is an experience to remember. The lack of auditory stimulation is deafening, almost surreal. These are the mornings we are experiencing now.

After breakfast we walked the South trail. Mosquitoes are still in abundance. The rocks at the south end are quite rugged and the view is fantastic. The only thing that detracts is the abundance of seagull droppings that smell.

Dennis and I framed and hung some more pictures and a mirror. Brenda was busy with some visitors. We are getting some stuff ready for our trip ashore tomorrow. The more we can take now, the less we will have to deal with on Saturday.

After dinner we watched a movie and made it an early night. Tomorrow is an early day.
