And here’s how our canoe club celebrated solstice! A pre-sunrise hike up a local hill to view the rising sun. Actually we take noisemakers to ‘wakeup’ the sun. And wake up the locals dogs.

That morning it was cloudy, so here’s the ‘fake’ sunrise.

And afterwards we were off to a well earned breakie.
I do wish we’d been able to go sailing. Can do that in a few months. Enjoy the holidays everyone.

Hi WinSome!

What a GREAT and FUN thing to do!
We Love it!
(Especially the Sun wake up call! :D :D ! Definitely a needed thing! Hopefully the sun took notice and starts waking up a bit earlier every day from now on! :wink: )

Best Regards,

Merry Christmas Everybody!!
It looks like Santa is taking me off the waiting list for a slip on Narragansett Bay! The start of a new era.
