Fireworks on the water!

Friday July 3, 2009 Slept in late which was nice. Once up we went out to see the horses. Patrick & little Patrick went with Nina & I. Horses looked good. I mixed feed while Nina brought Bella in for Patrick to look at her goose egg. Patrick thinks Bella has a herniated vein in her chest, or something like that. We are hoping it will heal on it's own. If it doesn't get better we will call the vet next week.

Afterward Dad, Mary, Little Patrick, Patrick, Nina & I went down to Sister Bay to rig the Etchell. I didn't realize it would take so long. We got hungry and decided to eat at the famous Sister Bowl, which was wonderful. I got the chicken tenders.

We decided after dinner that we would wait to sail the Etchells back to Fish Creek, which would take about three hours, until tomorrow the 4th. Instead we went back to Fish Creek to eat pie!

After tasting an assortment of pies as a snack & watching Little Patrick climb on the roof & detach the huge vine that had taken over the chimney, we went to the water to pick up the Streblow. Hooked up with Uncle Mike who was going to sail the Gal to Egg Harbor to see fireworks.

Along the way, we got pulled over by the Harbor Master for not having registration on the boat. We got a ticket, bummer, but he was very nice.

We headed on to Egg Harbor. Once there we tied up to the Gal and watched the light show from the sailboat. It was nice. Very chilly 57 degrees! We were wrapped up in jackets & blankets.

Afterward we made it back to the Fish Creek, Nina & I had ridden the scooter to the harbor, Patrick offered to drive it back & let us take the car since we were freezing! So we did. Didn't get really warm until I was under my pile of blankets back at the North Cottage!
