We spent a couple of days with Haley on remote Portsmith Island, which is just a little north of where you are now and it was rough. During the day, the island was the most beautiful place on earth but the nights were truly a nightmare with the mosquitoes and no-see-ums. I felt like I was on a episode of survivor while we were there but Haley had a better attitude, lol!

Sometimes when the winds are wrong in Myrtle, the flies on the beach are you bad you can’t stay out there! They bite right through the fur on the boys ears and for some reason, Wilson attracts many more than Jimmy. Weird!

I’ll have to try Cathy’s lime slice trick next time I get bitten. I love Charleston so I definitely voted, just a minute ago.

Happy sailing my friend and keep on voting….

Visiting in FL sometimes being driven out by bugs was the only option! We went for a hike one time and ended up being attacked by noseeums, and some nasty wasp!! Ended up running like crazy back towards the car a half mile away!

It is my least favorite parts of spring and fall. Those woods swarm with them and they congregate in the dogs eyes. UGH.

I’m rethinking my goal of moving south. I can’t deal with those bugs.

Holy cow, that is a bunch. I use essential oils on me and Sam which seems to help without the fear of using DEET. Eucalyptus, lemongrass, lavender, cedar to name a few mixed with 100% witch hazel (not the alcohol infused variety) and we’re pretty good to go even to the horse barn where horse flies can carry off small children! May you and sweet Honey-girl have many bug-free days on the water. ღ
