 |
| 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! ... |

| the west side of Watts
Island - for full-size pic, click here ... |
 |
| 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. |
