Jeff and all, We just got home later this afternoon after a delightful four days on the boat at Isthmus Cove, Catalina Island on mooring Bravo 12, just a perfect spot. We had two days of slight overcast and two spectacular days of sun and 70 degree temps. The best part was that the place was almost deserted but won't be this weekend if the flotilla we saw headed over from Marina del Rey and King Harbor was any indicator. And forget the weekend after next, Buccaneer Days with loud music, booze to excess and general mayhem. Now, about Wilson the buffalo. I got word from one of the Harbor Patrolmen this morning that old Wilson is getting just that, very old. Apparently he's dragging his hind hooves about six inches each time he slowly plods along, not a good sign. I don't know if it's the same as in dogs but the canine version is called wobblers and the signs are similar.
