David's Welcome Home Party

We went to Connecticut on Saturday to attend a welcome home party for my brother. One of the highlights of the party was crabbing.

My brother's son Ryan show the group how to crab with a string, a hot dog and a rock. 

Here is the first group of crabbers.

After a while the adults got to try.

Boat has a new name.

When we first got the boat,we were going to keep the original name, but change the port name.

Over time we learned that we used the boat mostly in the evenings, so the name had to change. Getting a new name is pretty easy, I just called the Duffy company and gave them the information and they sent me the name and port as two vinyl decals.  The issue I ran into was that after I remove the old name, the paint under the name had faded so you could still read the old name and I needed to repaint the background.  Things are never simple.

I'm hoping to launch the boat this weekend.

New goose family

The new goose family showed up for the first time today. There are 5 little ones.  By the end of the summer the chicks will be as large as the parents.  We watch the geese all summer and try to manage their feeding area.
