Waning Summer

The days are gradually getting shorter.  The skies more cloudy, and the temperatures are cooling.  Summer has been fun, but it is waning in the mid-Atlantic states.  Time for us to think about what's next.

What's next is a lot of boat work in order to be ready to move on!  The next few entries in our blog are likely to show us head-down in a compartment or bilge space, a troubled or worried look on our faces.  Let us tell you, it has been a LONG LONG time since Elise and Jeff have worried about a coming winter. It has become, already, the start of a race against time! We won't panic until the geese start flying in vees overhead; when does that happen??  

Alas, it is still summer, and we are going to hang on to it as long as we can.  This weekend we enjoyed a sunset at the lake in Columbia

 Jeff made a trip with his sister-in-law, niece, and nephew to Hersheypark to celebrate nephew Elliot's 16th B-day in style with a posse of Elliot's friends.  I'd post a pic of Elliot and the boys, but we never saw them all day at the park!
