Robinson Crusoe staggers ashore, followed by ...
...

... Friday
...
Tony and ...
...
... Gary have chosen their spots.
...
a nice, smooth mooring routine for Tony and Mary
...
Not quite as smooth for Gary who ends up having to ...
...
... search for his anchor that's come off the rode - in shallow water, fortunately!!
...
But soon everything is as it should be and ...
...
... the boats are left to swing in the very gentle breeze while ...
...
... refreshments are brought ashore.
...
Tangier Island is just visible on the horizon.
...
a lovely spot for a picnic!

You wouldn't want to come ashore blind around here.
...

But it's pretty in its way.
...

lots of birds to ...
...

... watch (so, do we know what this is? an osprey???)
...

Mary has walked around to the east shore to meet Dick who drifted around the longer way but most definitely ...
...

... got himself a nicer, stumpless beach!!
...

A beach that even had an active bird's nest.
...

Dick asked around on Tangier but no one could enlighten us as to what kind of bird lays these eggs.
...

And Dick's day was complete when he even spotted an ...
...

... eagle and perhaps ...
...

... its nest.
