Jim, the waterfront director at Sandy Island Family Camp
http://www.bostonycamps.org/overnight-camp/sandyisland/about-sandy-island, introduced himself as I passed through the Hole in the Wall. It turns out we were both headed to 19 Mile Bay. However it was so windy that I wasn't able to dock there and had lunch and sent out my monthly invoices in the lee of Farm Island. After Jim finished his mountain bike ride he stopped by and invited me to Sandy Island for a meal and to do a show and tell of my Solar Tiny House Boat http://tinysol.blogspot.com I tried to go up wind back towards Sandy Island, but the wind was too strong. Fortunately Dick Rollins noticed my conundrum, I was drifting even with an anchor. He waved from his dock and indicated I could tie up there. After I made fast with Dick and Sylvia's help, we chatted a bit, I gave them a tour of Tinysol and they invited me to dinner. Sylvia prepared a wonderful meal and we chatted until the late evening hours. I thanked them for their hospitality, and retired relatively early as I intended to wake before down and before the wind picked up again. The next morning, yesterday, I made it to the mooring field at Sandy Island before sunrise. Jim had said that there would be an empty mooring ball for me. After an early breakfast snack Jim ferried me over to the island I enjoyed a full breakfast in the dining hall. Mid morning Jim and I brought Tinysol over to the main dock and the rest of the day I hosted and answered questions of anyone who was curious enough to come aboard. I would say a good chunk of the campers came by, toured Tinysol and asked all kinds of interesting questions. That evening I had the wonderful opportunity to play some harmonica in the talent show with Shane on guitar and vocals and Mike on drums! Thank you Jim for inviting me and thanks to Kate and all her staff for a wonderful welcome, great food and a special thanks to all the campers who expressed such interest in solar energy!
