We took the dogs to shore around 5am while there was a break in the rain showers. Then we napped on the boat until 11am when the rain let up! We left the dogs on the boat while we explored Fort Warren since they are not allowed. It was a perfectly nice cool day to be able to leave the dogs without worry, with temps in the low 60s, a strong breeze and overcast skies. I’ve explored this island before, when I worked at the Boys and Girls Club years ago. It was a cool experience then but having the freedom to go on my own time, read all of the historical information at my own pace and check out every corner of the fort with no schedule but my own was an entirely different experience. We even spent some time on the beach before heading back to the boat to search for sea glass that one of my high school teachers mentioned on facebook. (Thanks, Mrs. Mil!) We were gone for maybe two hours and they did great! Luna didn’t damage a thing to our surprise! We talked on the phone with Shaun’s sister Amanda for an hour or so, it’s always a funny conversation catching up with her. She is sending some cash to help us out with a new battery and other rations, we couldn’t be more grateful for the people supporting us in these ways. We took the dogs to shore around 8pm. Luna found a struggling goose with an injured foot, and we helped it to shore where it was happy to swim away for the evening.
