Cherry - Pre-wedding Trip




Because we frolicked in Hawaii in June, we only managed one Cherry trip this summer.  And we squeezed it in right before Mari and Kyle's wedding.  As usual, it was WONDERFUL.

We had great weather.  We had WAY too many wasps!  And we had visitors - Kyle's family from Colorado!


One of the highlights of the trip was when Grace and I started to set up the tent and couldn't figure out why it smelled so bad.  We took it out of the bag and started unrolling it to discover a smushed lizard from our last camping trip....a year ago!  So we decided to just let it air out for awhile while we got the tent poles out and ready to go.....only to discover that there were NO poles!  What a disaster!  So we decided to sleep on the boat and throw away the lizard death stench tent!






We at breakfast on these rocks every morning and waited for the sun to come up all the way.

One nite we had a thunder, lightening and rain storm.  Grace and I were sleeping on the boat, so Jim came and built us this shelter - it kept us dry.

The lightening was amazing - it lit up the sky all around us.  It also came with lots of really LOUD thunder - which meant that Ahi was in my sleeping bag shaking!


The best part of going this late in the year is the water is warm - well....relatively warm!
