This was one of our busiest weekends of the year! Pretty much from noon on Friday through about 5pm this evening moorings were always full and sometimes boats rafted up to fit into the cove. Saturday and Sunday both saw over 50 visitors and we’re now over 1100 for the season.
We’ve heard a lot of our visitors say that this was their last weekend to get out on the water for a while because school is starting, they’re heading south for the winter, or they’re going to be pulling their boat out of the water for the season.
We can see the signs of summer ending. Friday evening had a true chill to the air, some leaves have started to yellow on the South Trail, and the southerly migrating Monarch butterflies have joined the Swallowtails on the island. It’s a bittersweet time here as we’re also starting to think about how we’ll be moving on soon as well.
