Meet Lou!

Lou is Canadian Goose who seems to prefer to be with people over the other Geese. Yes I know the sign says don't feed the geese, and we don't, but Julia worked around this technicality by offering him some water in the cats bowl. Lou was fine with this until the cat found out! Hally, the cat then tried to pounce on Lou. It didn't seem to matter that Lou was (and still is) one and a half the size of the cat! All is well for now. Look for Lou along the beach, he is the goose that separates himself from the gaggle!

Tandem Skiing!
Have you seen what our young entertainers have been doing lately? - tandem skiing! Shown here are Bret and Daniel tandom double skiing! On a later run Bret was able to drop a ski for a slalom run. Keep your eyes on the water you never know what you might see out there!

Yes, there were Orca in June!
This picture gives an somewhat of an idea as to just how close these toothed jumbo dolphins came to our beach! Note: Photoshop was not used to create these whales... OK, I did use Photoshop to add the arrows. Orca are rarely seen this far south during this part of the year. These whales are not part of the J, K, or L pods that are resident in the sound but a group of 5 what are called "transient whales" - just passing through. Incidentally, the boat in the background was said to be a NOAA observation vessel. This sighting occurred on June 30, 2006. Sorry for the late post.

The Pilings are back!

Back by popular demand a new set of pilings has been installed on Pt Richmond Beach. Pictured from left to right are Daniel, Carl, Cody, Julia Sarah, Sam, Peter, Piper, and Angie. There would have been more but there was not enough perching space - the last two pilings have not been installed yet!
