Robert and Mira finished, err, not first in the 2023 Hog Island Race hosted by the Inverness Yacht Club. 17 mile race around the island and back. Thanks to Mira for bearing with it.

The Pierces went to Mexico this summer.

Rory had a job waiting tables in San Miguel Allende for 2 weeks. Thanks to Ali Sarraf who took him on at Restaurant Turk! Lots of pizza and a little tennis.Robert worked there too.

Then off to Mexico City to meet Cadie and Mira for a week of sightseeing. Baseball game, wrestling, side trip to Taxco for Mira, Cadie and Rory, and lots of churros and chocolate. Robert worked.

Mexico is expensive!

Bob and Mira just returned from Brittany and the huge boat festival named La Semaine du Golfe du Morbihan 2023.

Here’s some videos that explain it.

Wow.  Very great BBC Watergate documentary that Robert has never seen.  Great in part because it does not talk about any journalists.  Only FBI and CIA and special counsel investigations and the personal commentary of lots of Nixon people.  Very nice.  Robert learned some new stuff.

Robert thinks he’s good at Wordle.  But he can’t figure out if the game is meant to be a difficult.

The Volvo Ocean Race is happening now.  Which, of course, brings to mind the greatest story ever told. Well, greatest Mexican story.  Maybe.
