The Spring Ritual

Launching the rowing float from the beach. Every year H and I need help - over the years different people have “volunteered,” (here is less of that as those “people” get older!!) H’s brother and sister in law from Colorado were going to get the job, but unfortunately those plans had to be changed So this crew (plus one)has been consistent for the last few years ...AND (same as last year) our neighbors across the bay (in lighter blue t-shirts) with their goldendoodle walked by at the right time. Hard to get a really different photo every year but I like the documentation here on blip. Here's 2012 with different weather. - Today is a wonderful day as you can see (not as predicted) . The tide will float it around 9 PM and we will drag it to our dock...
Here's 2011!
Walked back along the shore and will put up (soon) some some shots of the wonderful wildflowers now in bloom (sea blush and sedums) Oysters were collected for dinner, but I have a quiet moment right now to post a blip...

The set...
