Full House, Full Heart

ALBACORE from Windy Ridge on Vimeo. July at Windy Ridge has been full to the top and overflowing.  Niece Lindsey and her cousin Shae road-tripped 3ooo+ miles across the country and we were blessed to have them. It’s hardly a visit if we can’t bring you out on our ocean, so that’s what we did. […]
