Keep on truckin', Gary. Hoping for the best for you.

I'm headed for the boat today - hope I can handle it.

Blessings Gary. In our present state of health it's important to keep on keepin on. I hope to go fishing tomorrow. You enjoy hat boat and the fresh ocean breezes.

God Bless,
Don

Thanks Don, the day was spent mostly motoring around the Chesapeake's upper reaches, mainly chillin out and watching American (bald) eagles swooping down from the nearby hillsides and catching big fish in their talons. There was no wind for sailing. The eagles were often just a few yards from the boat when the caught their fish and carried them back to their nests on top of the ridges. Some of the nests are absolutely huge, weighing up to 15,000 pounds. From what the park rangers tell me, the nests are used and added to every year until the weight causes the tree to topple under the excessive load.

Here is something I get to see every day on my way to the boat, which is docked just 6 miles downriver from Conowingo Dam. https://vimeo.com/152926627

It's a pretty amazing sight to watch unfold, especially when the birds are just a few yards away.

Gary, i'm so glad to hear you're getting out on your boat. Wishing you the best and a speedy recovery.

Thanks Paul. I hope get out again this coming Thursday with my son and an old friend from way back when I was still working in medicine.

All the best,

Gary
