The Pirate Returns

 Went across to see what's up. I started filling in a huge hole that was dug a few days ago and just left there for someone to fall into. I am using a drift board as a shovel so it is a slow job.  I was destracted by tyre marks where some rev heads had driven down to do wheelies in the sand but I needed the rest.  All the while this was happening, the pirate had pulled up, dropped anchor and got the dinghy and the dogs overboard for a quick ride into shore. I have observed and featured him a number of times on this blog. When he pulled up I said "you don't usually come in Winter."  I can tell you he leads a hermit style life but aboard a boat that is mostly moored across the bay and has done so for the last 15 yar.  He got up saw the day was a beauty and headed over to this side.  He is also an ex navy man who was interested in my observations of the navy comings and goings at the long pier. I think two dogs on a boat, especially greyhounds, would need a lot of trips to shore.
