Come again another day. That was our refrain yesterday as it rained very hard all day long. Murray had the day off and spent his time carving, reading and napping. The docks were fairly quiet and we, at the Boathouse, spent the day trying to stay warm. Enough boats came in for gas that the staff got quite wet and changed clothes many times.

Things are busy here now with full docks most evry night. Our friend, Gary, from N Dakota, is here for a visit for several days and we have been partying way tooo much. But, it has been fun and has got us out of our cabin.

This weekend is the Fireman’s fundraising fish fry and we finally managed to get to order our lunch from them. Every year we have tried but having Gary here made it easy to pick it up. We used our tip money and all the staff had a great lunch.

So, now our life is work, eat and sleep until the rush is over and we no longer have to work 12 hours a day. September will be here soon enough and things will slow down.

That is what is happening here in Killarney. We hope all is well with everyone down south. Stay in touch and, of course, we would love to see anyone who cares to venture this far off of the beaten path.

Hugs to all, Heather & Murray
