After an early dinner yesterday we

Northwestern was still blowing and we
were getting tired of being tossed and

and a half to make the three miles
across Blackwater Bay to Robinson

we'll as the wind.
We are anchored in the cove north
of the Point, well protected from the
Northwestern, which is still blowing.
We used all our cover again last
night.

like this is a rare treat. I do not
mean by this that there is anything
wrong with our summer weather.
Really, our West Florida summers
are ideal, with none of the excessively
hot spells that cause thousands Of
prostrations in the north. The only
real complaint that we have is that
our fine weather lasts too long. 1t
seems a silly complaint, but from May

time unpleasant-rather get on ones

ing that we had been in the wilder
ness long time and were now get
ting back to civilization. Then we
made out a Ford, rambling along the
beach road toward Robinson Point,
and felt confirmed in our feelings. All
hands acted as though it was the first
one we had ever seen, particularly
Ethel and Dorothy.
Soon after that we sighted the
dancing pavilion, nesting at the edge
of cornfield on the outskirts of the
little town, and Ethel and Dorothy at
once fell in love with Robinson Point.
They said in effect, "We are weary of
much cruising. Let US do the rest of
our cruising right here"
Robinson Point is quite a pretty
place. We explored it thoroughly and
rendezvoused at The Store, where we
found both cold drinks and sugar, as
we'll as some Of the necessities of life
that we were running short of, like
onions and sidemeat.
There was a little dance last night
at the pavilion, which we all attended
and there will be a big one there to-
morrow Saturday night, which I dc
not think we will attend, though the
girls are sure they will.

We did not have the usual sea
breeze yesterday, and when the usual
thing doesn't happen, you can look
out for something unusual. Particu-
larly so, when you're a-cruising. For
my part, l fished our heavy anchor
out G. the hold-old Brother Holdfast
and bent on new inch-and-a-half
hawser.
About eleven o'clock last night, the
unusual thing happened, for this sea-
son OF the year: A stiff Northwestern
started. 1t blew all night, almost a
gale. The wind frow the unexpected
quarter quickly changed our carefully
selected harbor, behind Scriv-Ann,' '
into high seas, with Scriv-Ann Point
now lee-shore, only hundred yards
away. A regular surf built up and the
Peep O'Day and the houseboat rolled
and plunged as much as they had
ever done down on the big bays. And
it turned cold. I was an hour or
more making everything snug and Sc
cure, and giving everyone double
cover.

and the moon was bewilderipgly
