Boating, birds, and the rescue........................

The day we went out early to enjoy breakfast on the water, we broke down! While awaiting the Plumas County Sheriff, who towed our ailing boat back to a safe harbor on the lake, I managed to photograph several Ospreys in the trees, and this Grebe on the water.  Looking for more info. here I was delighted to learn more about these diving water birds.

The 'good guys' coming to our rescue in a powerful little boat......................

............Paula and Jasmin enjoying just another day on beautiful Lake Almanor.  The tow took almost an hour as we were waaaaay on the other side of the lake - the thermostat had broken on Paula's boat. We actually enjoyed taking the slow route home.  It gave us more time to really look at the scenery and chat, despite having to wear the life jackets and all move to the back of the boat per the sheriff's request.........

...............even Bob relaxed and started working on his tan!
