More Sailing

We went sailing again! Same place - Portland Island which is one of my favourite places. We arrived, anchored and had lunch - here is a picture!


Then we set up the tent where Brad and I camped. The exact same spot as last time!

We hung out on the boat and played Killer Bunnies until it was dark, so that meant another scary walk through the forest to our tent. So we're walking along, I'm feeling nervous but not too bad and I'm negotiating myself down a little hilly section and *click*.....

Mother f*#!er!!!!

My Maglite bulb burned out again. *

Which meant that at our stop at the outhouse I had to wait in the dark again. It was partly cloudy this time though so the UFOs couldn't get a good beam on me. To distract myself I looked straight up at the stars through a super narrow opening in the trees and saw a satellite! What are the chances?!

That night I woke up to a scratching sound on the side of the tent. In my sleepy state I thought "Stop it Ziggy!" but then realized....it wasn't Ziggy. I laid in the tent wide eyed....(there are no bears on the island so I wasn't scared)....then saw a little mouse-shaped shadow scurry off the top of the tent, slide down the front and run off...

There were also the usual noises - seals slapping and splashing, raccoons coo-ing, herons making dinosaur noises, then seriously annoying people up at 6:30am not making a single attempt to be quiet. I guess we're all on their schedule.

We sat around in the sun and read (me: David Sedaris, Brad - The History of Cuba, C. - The Old Curiosity Shop - Dickens), napped on the boat, had dinner (veggie stir fry) and had tons of laughs.

*This is interesting since last time the bulb died I was using Brad's Maglite, this time I was using my own.
