Special trip on the water

Today would have been Aunt Carol's 83rd birthday and we honored her by going out on the ocean to spread her ashes. It was a carefully orchestrated event and one of the gentlemen from Peaks offered up his 'yacht' which he had freshly painted for the occasion.
Loading onto the yacht
Spreading ashes and waving to Jackie's relatives who were on the cliff near the lighthouse
 Jackie's nieces and their children were all up by the Portland Lighthouse and wearing bright red clothing so we could see them all clustered together waving to us. That was the carefully orchestrated part!
 We toured in the yacht around the far side of the island and just talked amongst ourselves. It was wonderful and special.
Me, Karen, Clay, Mom, Eric, Will, Jackie and Val
