......to Hart-Miller Island so he can see "what I'm missing during the
week." This not-so-stunning revelation appears on page 47 of the
January issue of "Chesapeake Bay Magazine" in an article entitled "A
Tale of Two Islands". While most of us would assume that he's talking
about seeing more birds of the ornithological type, it turns out that
there's wild life of two very different sorts out there, and the article
deals with both. There's also a photo of Gene looking at something (one
of the babes on the other side?) through a serious scope, some
references to MOS activities.....and a nice photo of one of the other
birds. ;^)

Change of subject: On page 87, there's an ad for chartering the
Pauline, an 83' motor yacht. The steel hull, originally around 50',
spent many years as a fish-ferry boat, transporting catches from
offshore trawlers to processing plants in Maine. I know, and have
sailed with, the folks who fitted her out so exquisitely that you'd be
hard put to imagine her former existence. While I don't know, and
therefore can't speak about, the couple pictured who are now the
"captain and hostess", if you ever have a chance to go aboard and look
around, you'll be glad you did.
.....and now back to birds,
