We fell in love with this 12 year old. He was a free spirited, independent kid. They are the only family on the Bay and Devlin would get in his aluminum outboard and zip all over the bay. He introduced us to his parents who wanted to see the boat and brought hors d' oeuvre's of shrimp, salmon on crackers, and cheese to our boat one evening. The following day I baked Oatmeal Cookies and took them over to their little cottage. It was the best part of Hopewell Bay! A family of bear lived by this family (Mom and two cubs) and they kept a look out for us. The first evening we were there, Devlin came in his boat and said they were out. By the time we were in the kayaks and up to their section of the cove, the bear were gone. We thought we had a better chance of seeing bear with a known sighting, so we opted to stay another night. The following evening, we were in our Kayaks at 5 p.m. and sat by their known crossing for 2 1/2 hours. I'd have thought it was a "snipe hunt" but we did see the droppings. We never saw the bear -- but we did see the droppings!
