Always something…
Let me know if you have any dates in mind for Windward.
This week has great weather and there will be more coming I’m sure.
I have to wear a BP monitor Wednesday of this week, probably best not to be too active then.
On the 25th I have to go to the eye doc. In Orillia and Tues. 26 May I have a telephone doc appt and a dental cleaning (if they don’t cancel ).
Let me know!

Happy Victoria Day.
I think we’re the only country which still celebrates the old Queen’s birthday… perhaps not so much out of loyalty to her these days as a disinclination to give up a spring long weekend.
Had a good day on SURPRISE yesterday, There was, however, a bit of a calamity. Last fall I forgot to cover the butt end of the mast… this spring I couldn’t get to the boat until Saturday, at which point I did cover the butt. Why? So birds don’t nest in there. What did I see Sunday? Two frantic starlings with beaks full of food trying vainly to get in.
Back up the ladder I went, took the cover off and looked in. Lots of twigs… and lots of ‘peeping’. Baby birds. So I left the cover off. The birds shot in as soon as I climbed down again. I googled starlings… the babies stay in the nest for three weeks after hatching. Maybe they’re already a week or two into that period… maybe they’ll be away before the mast goes up… I hope.
