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)

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!
