Starting out

I've named this blog after my rowboat Shindig -- which in turn got its name after North Burn, the Democratic county chair from Waldron, referred to "this Democratic shindig we're having Saturday." I was charmed by the word and used it for my boat.

This first post is a picture I took in June when John and I went camping at Turn Island (our first time in quite a few years!). Shindig is on the right and his boat, Bark River, is on the left. In the background -- well, I'm not sure, but maybe it was the Kaleetan.

Maybe you can't see how spiffy Shindig looks, but you will in future shots. John did a lot of work this year to make it beautiful, and it adds to my delight in being out in it. Now he's working on Bark River in the garage and I'll show it here soon.
