Fly Fishing

We spent last night in Porter Bay. It was another one of those tranquil nights when we could clearly sed and hear everything around us. In the late evening and early morning we were greatly entertained by the leaping fish all around us.

We don't know what species of fish they were but they were big and hungary for insects on the surface. Both Libby and I thought about fly fishing.

I've written before about what terrible fishermen we are. We don't attempt it very often. When we do, we never Icatch anything. We don't carry much equipment either. Certainly not fly rods.

Nice sailing today. We sailed 25 miles north from Porter Bay to Button Island.

Burton Island is the suite of several family camping adventures. It is a state park and a marvelously fun and safe place for kids. We have camped here with all our children and grandchildren (except Bobby), and with my sister Nancy and her family.

The picture shows Tarwathie on a mooring and the Burton Island Ferry to the left. The ferry is the only way for campers to get here. It adds to the charm.
