Quite a day yesterday! First, we had to have a "rescue at sea" of Larkin and his Hobie Cat full of students from the Chippewa Hills cross-country team. They capsized just offshore (a common occurance) but could not right the boat (uncommon occurance). It drifted WAY out into the lake and after about 1 1/2 hours of them trying to get up again, the police boat was called and they were hauled in cold and wet. No real harm done, but the boat has been banned from the station (this is Lark's third rescue and Jim says "NO MORE!")After a hard day in the mines painting, a bunch of us piled into the van and went across to the west side of the island to Donegal Bay to watch the sunset.
Then we all went back to town to the Shamrock to hoist Long Island Ice Teas in honor of Jodie (an Arnie Palmer for me as I was the D.D.)
This morning this little deer greeted me as I came around the corner of the dorm headed to the classroom. She was quite unafraid and stood there for a long time while I snapped shots, trying to get one to work. This was the best I could do . . . So I saw almost all the available Beaver Island wildlife this morning - a deer, the chipmunk, the big bunny, the flock of mourning doves, some geese - I did NOT, however, see the coyotes who have been plaguing the campground. Okay by me! . . . .
