That is the view looking north in Port Wells - the mountains were amazingly striking and the seas were super for Oct. boating - about as good as it gets. Photo by Neil Moomey

Coming back from beach combing, it is a blast to see what old types of floats and stuff that you can find on these beaches.

What a noisy bedlam, Caleb kept screaming get closer daddy, get closer, I super close and he was about as excited as a 2 year old can get. He cried when we finally motored away - he wanted more.

Cathy also enjoyed the closeness. She is the chief videographer.

We had 2 super camp fires, real bone warmers. It is nice this time of year when it actually gets dark.

What was really cool that night was when I was paddling out to the boat, my oars would cause the algae to light up so each paddle stroke looked like I was stirring up fire flies.

We had a super moorage here and enjoyed the peacefulness of 2 nights sleeping on anchor.

Pulling the anchor the hard way, I have a 22lb bruce style anchor with 20ft of 3/8th chain, most people call it overkill, but I sleep really well knowing my boat will not go bump in the night.

O.K. we posed with his deer because my 2 deer were more on the carry on size. But overall it was a very successful hunt, 4 deer taken and the weather, company and time were first class.
