Description

This is one of my favorite places to go - especially when I need to sort things out, unwind, find peace if peace is to be found in this crazy world. I've been going here for years to just sit and look at the boats.


So, it is no surprise that I came here during the days following the attacks on 9-11, 2001. Our country was on high alert, no planes were flying, thousands had died, nobody knew what to expect. We were all in shock. So, I came here and found that even though the world was spinning out of control, skies were ominous and it was unclear what would happen next. . .that my peaceful place was intact, unchanged except for a lone American flag flying at half mast on one of the sailboats.
