A Day Out On The Boat

When we are finished with bear hunting season the last thing we usually want to do is go out on the boat for fun.  Because, face it, going out on the boat is work.  But today we broke with tradition and Mr. Adams and I went for a little spin.  The first thing we did was stop and pick up our friend, Larry Hyde.




Larry lives on a little island just outside of town, so he paddled out to the boat to meet us.

While we were underway we had a delicious breakfast of pancakes and bacon....yummy!


And then it was off to explore!! 


 We eventually anchored up and went ashore, and of course we looked for berries...  

Bog Cranberries...




And Lingonberries...




It was pretty good picking, so I guess it pays to get out of town!



And then it was back to the boat.....


While we headed for home we had dinner and I cleaned the berries...


Look at the size of that one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The sun was shining and the winds were calm.  All in all it was a good day!!
