The weather on Sunday was beautiful for the Seine Boat races. So nice to see many spectators cheering on their favorite teams.

The Magnolia Pier is still standing but can not be used, very dangerous. When I was kayaking decided not to go under the pier.

The only way to end a busy day
Another one of my obsessions is to get to the beach. At the end of a busy work day, nothing soothes the soul like sitting and swimming. It is my happy place.

Good Harbor Beach
Took a late in the afternoon walk to Good Harbor Beach. Everyone I met or talked to was so respectful of our little plovers. Since all the negative things about what goes on with dogs at GHB, we have to remember that most of the time things are good. Most important thank you volunteers for helping keep these cuties safe.

The Launch
Over at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum on Friday, these great 8th graders launched 2 more boats. The faces on these kids speaks volumes of how much fun and educational this experience is. The teachers who were there, I wish I had them in 8th grade. Thank you to the Essex Shipbuilding Museum for all your experience and to Teacher Dave Brown and Amy Donnelly for your dedication to these students. It was also so wonderful to see Harold Burnham watch some future boat builders launch their creations.
