We should have started back earlier in the day, before the wind picked up!

Anchored at Cedar, waiting for fireworks tonight. Nick joined us for the day!

The Salt Shack at Cedar Beach.

I wanted something more capable than the single cleat up forward. The cleat is “hidden” behind the windlass, and would not be able to fit line greater than 1/2″. So this new mooring bit is a nice addition to the bow!

We took Mike on a boat ride after work tonight, on Shelly’s birthday. We landed at Salt Shack and got treated to our first Lobster of the season. Thanks Mike! Mike’s company, Software Development Resources, represents a number of software developers, including Facade Intereactive, a vendor of ours at H2M architects + engineers.

There are over 50 beach volleyball courts set up here at Cedar, most all booked weeknights for leagues. Unfortunately, it was the wrong night of the week to see my H2M co-workers competing here.

Naples is also known for its Seaplane Rides! It’s a lot of fun to navigate around all the cars and planes (and other boats) when visiting Naples Maine by boat!

I think we are going to stay out here tonight!
