Beating the heat on Wednesday...

As I write this, it is before noon on Thursday, and there's a sliver of a window of time left before it'll be too hot to be upstairs on this computer! (The good news is that this heat wave should subside after today, with temps twenty degrees lower over the weekend.)



We spent an hour or so in the oppressive heat at the barn yesterday morning, long enough to let Miss Belle know we love her, and to see her do just as little work as possible with John on her. (She hates the heat, too!) Then we headed back to the water in Dana Point in search of cooler air. Had lunch at a neighborhood bar and restaurant near the marina that we've become fond of - Turk's, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with great views of the water. After lunch we took a short walk above the docks. It's hard to make out, but there is a big banner on the historic schooner, Curlew, that says "Charter Me". Would love to do just that! The Curlew, by the way, is one of several ships that will be involved in a three day Tall Ship Festival in Dana Point over the weekend. We are hoping to find a place to see all of them sail into Dana Point Harbor tomorrow evening at sunset. If that happens, there WILL be more pictures!
