That must have been a great challenge to swim to the island and back! I could have done this only by rowing!! Hahaha, I am not a good swimmer. Enjoyed this Tanka and wish you best of luck in Brian's contest!...Have a great week and thank you for your kind comments...:)..Gert

Enjoyed this journey to Rattlesnake Island. I've undertaken some long swims and wish I had reached this destination with you, Tirzah. Creative approach to Brian's contest and I wish you success! Love, Carolyn (and thanks for your placement of Unicorn in your contest)
