I have very fond memories of Gotts Island trip with your mom, well 4 mom, 10 kids. Picking mussels off the rocks and cooking them, Sending the neighbor to the mainland for a bottle of bourdon. Lol. And that house….so we’ll designed. Paradise.

You can get the bourbon delivered now! And the mussels are gone, sadly. Natural causes, I believe.

It doesn't sound like heaven, it is heaven. Also 57 degrees is the perfect swimming temperature.

Soaking for 20 minutes until borderline hypothermia sets in and then getting out and lying on the sun warmed rocks...pretty good!
