[Public-List] Victoria Day Weekend

[aldworthfamily at cogeco.ca]

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.
