Gone With The Wind

This was one of my favorite anchorages. We were actually anchored off of the "Deer Island Thorofare", close to Bold Island. When we dropped anchor the tide was low, exposing all these wonderful granite rocks. We took the dinghy ashore to explore, as we knew the tide was turning and soon these rocks would be underwater. When we got ashore we met two young sisters, Beth And Brooke -aged 10 and 8. They were sailing with their grandfather, had rowed ashore by themselves and were very confidently exploring the islands. They were cute as could be and soon attached themselves to us. We took them for a dinghy ride. They were most impressed, as they'd never been in a motorized dinghy!! The grandfather looked like a true old salt, fed the PB&Js and hotdogs for three days. He had them collect kelp for his garden and played cribbage with them at night! Beth's famous quote was "We have cards and our imagination and that's enough"!! I would love to meet her mom!
