This is for the birds...

We are now classifying Eagles as another hazard to navigation [instruments at least...]
I took the following photos of a friend's boat from our deck yesterday evening... [If all those lights and instruments have to be replaced he is out ~$800 + a fun trip to the masthead...]
What about our boat? So far the eagles are into us for $650 as they took out our wind direction indicator [part of anemometer…] We haven’t installed the solid state no moving parts eagle-resistant replacement yet and its cable yet…

    Wow, that is just crazy! And also strangely cool to see them up on the mast. Although, not so cool if they damage y our equipment :-(

      We were on our dock finger talking to some newly arrived friends, and heard a racket behind us. The eagles stayed up there for quite awhile, and gave us time to grab the cameras. Bill sent the photos to the boat-owner this morning, who was onboard at the time, and knew they were up there. We haven't heard what the results/damages are yet.
