Sunday - July 6

 We both had a great night's sleep - always so peaceful, calm and quiet when anchoring!    We had planned to stay another day but since the rain was holding off till tonight decided to check out another anchorage (Frying Pan Bay) - yesterday we were on Frying Pan Island where Henry's is.    This is about 30 miles further.   Mark says we've been here 2x before.   His memory is amazing - of course, he has his log of where we stay, but he's just a whiz at this logistic stuff!

My Captain
This type of boat is used to carry supplies and food, etc. to the island homes.

We got here at 10:30 and he fixed eggs/sausage/toast.   That hit the spot and then a lazy Sunday just reading our books, taking naps, etc.   Around 4:30, decided to take the dinghy to shore and do a little hike.   We went to Fairy Lake - not too far but didn't make the full circle as some of those granite rocks looked a bit steep and I'm a little leery after my nasty fall.

But it felt good to stretch our legs and then back to Catrina - we were sticky and sweaty and there were a lot of bugs in the forest.   So.....we put on our swimsuits and took a few quick dunks in the very refreshing (80 degree) clear water.    Ahhhh....felt good!

We had our leftover fish 'n chips from Henry's for supper!   Yum!  

 We watched Mass with Father Jonathan in Port Clinton.    Today he baptized Cillian Joseph Burlingame - Cillian is 7 years old and his father passed away very unexpectedly at age 43 in April, 2024 at McGruder Hospital in Port Clinton.    Cillian also received his First Communion.

Zoom tonight with 8 siblings - talked about 4th of July plans, health issues (always), Jim and Lydia are in Destin with their family and some of their grandchildren said "hi".

Have an awesome week and prayers ongoing for the Texas flood victims, those still missing, their families and all the people involved in the recovery efforts.
