Pure skill, brawn and sailing smarts were put to the test to keep their ships from running up against the sandy beach… and certain destruction!!!!

Strawberries just walked in the back door from Moorebrook Farm about ½ mile away. The weather is helping to shape up good solid crops. Rhubarb has been strong and we just finished the incredible local asparagus. Our pastry chef Bill Leavy has just put out a new dessert menu that’s getting great reviews.

These two girls had started summer, there was no turning back.  Summer, swimming, beachin, lazy days digging in the sand… its all a go right here at Black Point Inn.

ok ok…  no all yellow jerseys, but many different colored jerseys…. take a look!

At the beach the sand was warm, the water clear and the Inn could be seen just above the dunes.  See you all here soon!

Pretty soon the fishing boats will be gliding by the Inn, the beaches will be full of folks enjoying the warm water, fishing, kayaking, and sailing.  They are quiet now but soon the golf course and tennis courts will be busy with happy guests.

See if you can spot the last bit of snow… more images to come… especially if we can convince that Canadian photographer to take some more!

Oh… you may also notice cranes and other machinery in some of these shots.  The Inn is doing some major work to the geothermal well system which is used to heat and the cool the inn’s guest rooms and common areas. The outside work is almost finished and after a little bit of plumbing work in the basement… everything will be ready for the upcoming season!

See you soon!
