Mill River Basin Rogue Skiffs and Kayaks

Hi Joey,

I retrieved these “floaters” from the storm surge high tides last week here in the Mill River basin. They drifted down from the Richdale end.

See attached photos. The skiff was floating upside down so it was lifted from the shoreline.

Owners can contact me to pick them up or I will float them home next warm day.

CK Pearl

Seven of us had brunch at CK Pearl in Essex over the weekend to celebrate two birthdays. While I have been known to sit at the bar for a cocktail and some mussels or to sit outside during the summer, I have never been for breakfast. My huevos rancheros were delicious. We shared some french toast as a breakfast appetizer and had some bloody marys, mimosas, and/or other cocktails as well. Everything was delicious!

Huevos Rancheros: cheesy jalapeno black bean dip, cheddar, crispy tortilla, pico de gallo, avocado

French Toast: homemade carrot bread, walnuts, whipped mascarpone, honey drizzle
