Wink Get there "Earlier"!

From Johnson's Cove, there's no particular view of mountains, but properly anchored away from the sandbar, the wide Sandwich Range lies far-off in the distance.

Wow...just this minute, a big light-blue-over-white "Formula" just headed right past there—and quietly! (6:47AM).

Better get there "earlier": Old guys in oversized boats (who fly "the martini" burgee) get to the tiny sand-bar first!

ETA:
Yesterday (Tuesday) four kayakers (visiting nearby) paddled around this area at 9-PM. They are in Middle-Eastern garb—and I haven't heard a word of any European language.

(Except for the word "OK").
