Sat July 18 1970 Another good day, tho it started out poorly with a short night's sleep. Took a small box of very tender & young greens to Hunters. To Fish Beach to buy halibut which Alexei had caught. At 4 to Lobster Cove where we gathered kelp & dulse & Irish moss in low-tide pools - showed them to Dougie Boynton & friend. Then to Crow's Nest to bridge where we came upon a long stretch of golden clusters of young chanterelles - so many, it was like [[strikethrough]] a [[/strikethrough]] wonderful panoramas in a dream. What fun & bounty. Must return in 2 weeks to pick the rest. Home via Werbes to look at their garden (poor) & to dine on steamed halibut, bok choy, chanterelles. Long letter from Billy today, re his c/o status. [[strikethrough]] Each one [[/strikethrough]]

Sunday 19th A hot windless day, but over at Seal Ledges all afternoon it was perfect, with those warm round boulders and a cool onshore breeze, a cold sea for wading, and the wide dark & light panorama of islands & the sky. Sketched, lunched, picked seaweed (no laver) - [[strikethrough]] dulse [[/strikethrough]] in the company of the Boxer boys & Eric & David Fries & Paul Kraus, who showed me lobsters for the picking. Chanterelles. Home by way of Boynton's, where Dougie wanted specific instructions on how to find Irish moss. Rushed back, picked greens, showered, then to Loews for shishkabeb supper - Mostels, Herb, Martins, Hunters. The usual talk. Stayed after others had left & then to P.O. to mail letter (for bk for Billy on c.o.) & home in full moonlight.

Mon 20th a full & crazy day. Spent am tracking down Carl for gas delivery - how ridiculous a way to spend the summertime! In afternoon all social hell broke loose in a rather enjoyable way: 2 couples [[strikethrough]] to [[/strikethrough]] came to see ptgs, bottles, rocks, seaweed drying on porch, antique assorted objects, garden, while in l.r. G was playing guitar with Wendy & Josephine Harris
