this is one of my favorite pelican photos (and I took approximately one million of them during the summer\/fall).\u00a0 we went out on the boat on October 20th, and I went out again on the 22nd.\u00a0 kevin didn’t want to go with me, so I went by myself and had a surprisingly good time.\u00a0 I realized that when I go boating alone I can go wherever I want.<\/p>\n

I first zipped over to the pelican point and was sad that they weren’t there.\u00a0 I decided to head under the Lindsay bridge to see if I could find any, but when I cruised by todd green’s house, right across the water from us, I realized they were there!\u00a0 it was cool to get this photo of flying pelicans as well as ones on the grass.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

on pelican point, the pelicans mostly hung out on the rocks, with a few in the grass.\u00a0 since they weren’t there that day, I could see the extent of the pelican poop.\u00a0 but in the photo above, because todd doesn’t have riprap, but instead a sea wall, the pelicans all congregated on his expensive, lush grass.<\/p>\n

such a beautiful day!\u00a0 it’s a little hard to get my head around the fact that today it’s only 25 degrees, feels like 15, with a layer of snow on the ground.\u00a0 what happened to fall?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

this is one of the islands on the other side of the bridge, near the yacht club.\u00a0 tons of birds were nesting in the trees.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I only came in finally because I had to work.<\/p>\n

a few days later, October 25th, we took the boats out of the water.\u00a0 here’s the view of our dock as I drove the pontoon boat away.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

this was the easiest boat out of the water we’ve ever had – I think because I had practiced docking the boat on our new boat lift, I felt more confident about guiding it onto the trailer.\u00a0 good times!\u00a0 the whole process was speedy, thanks mostly due to kevin’s expertise.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

we got home and I spent an hour cleaning the boat, while kevin started to get the sailboat ready to come out.\u00a0 his friend glenn came over at about 2 in the afternoon to help remove the sail.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

glenn then motored mom and I over to the boat launch; I’ve never used the motor on the sailboat, but maybe next year i’ll be able to do it.\u00a0 it didn’t look very tricky, anyway.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

it took a couple of tries to get the boat onto the trailer, but no big deal, really (especially for me because all I really did was take pictures).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

kevin secured the\u00a0 boat on the trailer and the job was done!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

this is one of my favorite photos of mom because her hair went completely crazy in the wind.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

more boat adventures soon, but here’s les and riley, enjoying the middle level of their kitty condo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

ok then, stay warm,<\/p>\n
