MARINERS COVE

  • November 2025
  • By The Landings

Greetings all. It is still very quiet here in the Cove. We are anticipating the arrival of several neighbors, soon.

Harley Benner was blessed with a visit from his son, Todd, from Texas and his granddaughter, Faith, who is currently living in Jacksonville. It was a very special treat and surprise for him.

And our world traveler and wildlife photographer, Gail Campbell, visited Quito, Ecuador to visit Vincent, from Steamboat. He is a Hatter in Quito. A Hatter is an old-fashioned term for a person who makes or sells hats. The work is famously associated with the phrase “as mad as a hatter” referring to severe mental illness, a condition believed to have affected hat-making artisans due to their mercury exposure used in felt production. Who knew?

Carl and Patricia McMackin are off on a European adventure and we’re looking forward to hearing about their experiences. 

Until next time.
