A rare sunny day up Knight InletThings we like
Fresh baked bread Chocolate Our Dickinson heater on cold mornings (and evenings) Our propane stove Pacific white sided dolphins Bears, from afar Tilly, our tiller pilot Brian B’s music selection Mist and clouds that hide clear cuts Anchorages with good holding and lots of swing room Stirring up phosphorescence in the water at night The constant singing of Varied thrushes (they are everywhere) Things we don’t like Logs (specifically the ones that float in the water waiting to hit unsuspecting boats) Bucking strong currents The sound of anchor chain dragging over rock (it sounds ominous) Docking Clear cuts Steep, rocky lee-shore anchorages When birds fly away or dive before I can identify them properly Things we like but don’t want to admit to liking Strange unidentifiable sounds emanating from dense woods as we row by in our dinghy Electronic charts Our diesel engine Warm sunny weather (let’s not jinx ourselves now) Bisquick

I keep reading that as Dickensian heater. I imagine you huddled next to it in rags.
Hey Guys! Glad to see things are still looking good. The real "music" are the sounds you've described coming from the deep forests and shores; very soothing...then again, a little Band of Horses and Kings of Leon never hurt anyone. Creative cooking rocks! And get that crab trap out pronto!
