I had to drop the wife off at her mother's nursing home and finally got
on the road at 1100 hrs.
Reached the launch ramp in Mahone Harbour, Mahone Bay at about 1230hrs
and quickly got underway...too quickly, as I left my digital camera,
binoculars and cell phnoe on the truck seat.
Talked to a boat returning and he advised me the water had been like
glass earlier but the wind had picked up making the water rougher.
I cranked up all 25 horses and left the harbour behind as I headed south
east past Loye Island to my port and Hermans Island to my starboard.
next i turned east, north & west to circle Backman Island, which has a
nice little beach and cove for anchoring. After circling a lone sailboat
, I dipped down south west, changing to northg to checkout the anchoring
cove/beach on Coveys Island.
Next it was a streach of open water so I could pass through the very
shallow water between small Goat island and Rous Island. keeping Sheep
island on my starboard, I headed north west to Andrews Island where I
beached the Yukon and went ashore for a bit. Lastly i played around the
outer reached of Mahone harbour for a bit and retrieved the boat around
1500 hrs.
Since I am a member of the Mahone Islands Conservation Association, I
wanted to see the protected (from development) islands up close.

Sure wish I had my camers with me...I could have shown the stark
contrast between the beautiful islands still in their natural state and
the ones all tore up by the CFA summer crowd with their overscale
houses, hugh rock walls etc.

Sounds like a great time. Wish you'd taken your camera. What is the 'CFA
summer crowd'? Are they the Americans you accused of ruining the islands
the last time you brought this up?

Oh, and since you brought up family, how is your mom doing? Hope all is
well. Do you ever take your son on these excursions? He'd probably enjoy
getting out.

Nice report. Keep 'em coming!



His lazy son won't leave the couch.

Couch?
You couldn't keep up to my son... except maybe in nightmares.

Ah Johnny.........
you are correct for once...the majority of people who buy up and strip
the islands are summering Americans.
Bull****...sounds like another Harrytale to me.

My son works for a living , so he can't come out on a Friday.
Glad to hear that bit of news. When did he start? I'll bet you're
relieved
as hell.

As for weekends, he seems to prefer running around with his
friends......... hard to believe eh?
No.
He's still at home so he's hardly working "for a living". He's working
for a few bucks to blow with his buddies - and ignoring Dad in the
process.


Don't you worry about dad. I've got a good bit of Scottish, Welsh and Dutch
blood in me.
We're no nonsense when paying your way is concerned.


Too much Scotch, if you don't mind an unbiased opinion.

Serious (well, sort of :) )question, Don. If you are walking on the
sidewalk and see a mound of dog**** in front of you, do you stop to talk
to it?

No? I didn't think so. So why do you converse with the mounds of dog****
here, like Florida Jim, DK, Herring, Reggie, et cetera?

:)

Don,
You really need to start obeying Harry better, he is getting ****ed off
that you are not following directions. When Harry says jump, your
correct response is "YES SIR, HOW HIGH, SIR".

We think & act independently.

Poor Reggie...he's such a tool.

Don if you were at the Mahone Bay warf on Saturday you may have met me
pulling my 30 foot Regal out At about 12:39 or so. We were using a large tow
truck from Kelly's towing, I had a few buddies about to lend a hand but they
were more interested in the Keiths. My car is the dark red XLR.

Missed you by a day. I was there on Friday at about that time for launch.
