July 14

Woke up to rain this morning, just our luck, we were scheduled to go sailing on a tall masted sail boat, the Amoeba. Turns out, the boat sailed, even in the rain, and they provided rain jackets for those of us that wanted them.  So off we went!

As it turned out, even with the rain, the bay was smooth as glass, and the Captain put the sails up just for show, as there was no wind and he had to use the motor!

The most exciting thing was when we spotted an Eagle in the tree tops. The Captain called to the Eagle and threw out a fish, after a bit of a hesitation the Eagle took off and sailed through the air, circling the boat once, and then picked up the fish. He then took it to the nest where we could see two or three little heads sticking up

Woke up to rain this morning, just our luck, we were scheduled to go sailing on a tall masted sail boat, the Amoeba. Turns out, the boat sailed, even in the rain, and they provided rain jackets for those of us that wanted them.

 As it turned out, even with the rain, the bay was smooth as glass, and the Captain put the sails up just for show, as there was no wind and he had to use the motor! It was fun though, I had never been on a sail boat before and I found the workings of the boat very interesting. We went all around the bay, got a good look at the light house, which was a cookie cutter of all the rest, small and white with a red top. The most exciting thing was when we spotted an Eagle in the tree tops. The Captain called to the Eagle and threw out a fish, after a bit of a hesitation the Eagle took off and sailed through the air, circling the boat once, and then picked up the fish. He then took it to the nest where we could see two or three little heads sticking up. It was amazing to see it up close like that! We also sailed by the island that Alexander Graham Bell owned, and the house that he had built there, more like a mansion. The island is still owned by the family, and only family can build there.
