This has been a very hot month, especially in the Delta. On July fourth weekend, we christened Otter with a full ceremony. The slough was filled with boats and the Hilton fireworks were wonderful. We had to wait until later in the month for the winds to pick up but when they did, the banshees were out most of the day and Otter went out in the evenings. We took a quick trip up Georgiana Slough to our favorite spot which is as beautiful as ever. We hope to have a few more weekends in August before school starts.
