our first week of boating

July 18 Wednesday 2013
We leave Tuesday for Clemintine up Indian Arm. No internet, no phone. 5 boats spent the night , Wednesday 4 boats, Thursday 5 boats spend the night. Saturday and Sunday is a full house- 15 boats. We get to watch a rescue at Granet falls just across the way. A hovercraft, 2 helicopters, and 2 police boats all come to help. Apparently some one was sliding down the falls and lost control and damaged his back and leg. A line rescue was needed. Sunday all but 3 boats left. I lost my night game player as Hudson and Dina left too they had generator problems. Bill put his dingy down and it started on the 3rd pull. He was very happy. We took it for a spin at the end of the inlet. We are entertained by a helicopter dragging something on a swing ( probably fuel) to a camp at the end of the arm. He comes and goes every half hour . They seemed to work all day.
Wednesday we watch as a helicopter drops 5 men onto a tower. They work all morning. You wouldn't catch me up there. We head back to the club after lunch. A great week.
