gotta love this place

I took the pooch for a walk and swim on the beach yesterday afternoon. When I first arrived, there were two crews rowing, and they had just left the dock. It was hard to tell if they were experienced or not, as they had just boarded the boats. There is a women's team up here that is widely known for their competitiveness, and I wonder if that was one of the crews. But Inti couldn't wait and the afternoon was pretty warm for a black dog in full sun, so we headed over to the Hadlock side of the point, where I sat on a log and used my Chuck-It Jr. to fling the ball out into the bay for her.

After about a half-hour I noticed two large sailboats headed right towards our point on the beach. One was quite a bit ahead of the other. The front boat tacked 180 degrees, and when the boats were alongside, each fired a cannon at the other. Yes, I said cannon. Okay, I didn't see any cannons, but I heard the boom and I saw the smoke. When they reached the other side of the bay, they did the same thing. Those loons must have been having a blast.

I'm going to have a cannon on my boat.
