Summer. Finally!

It finally arrived. Summer. After the worst June in recorded history, summer has arrived and it looks as though it will be here to stay for another 8 weeks. Each day now is shorter by one min. I love this time of the year but am also looking forward to winter when we can have our island back. There are only so many people and cars the island can handle before it becomes unbearable to live here. It seems particularly worse this year.

I am always able to escape the crowds and madness in my boat. I was out this weekend on the water and grabbed a few shots of the waterfront-

Community Sailing School sailboats. East Polpis Harbor.
Interesting cloud formations. Pocomo Meadows.

Fluke boats and the idle dragger, Ruthie B. Town Pier.

A full boat basin.

BUCK OF THE WEEK-
I recently got a new trail cam. It incorporates the latest technology where there is a very low glow infrared flash which will not scare away the deer when their picture or video is taken at night. I had some interesting results with the new cam as soon as I put it out. This buck was very curious-

Here's another video clip of the same buck. Note how he is spooked by a bird flying away.
