Every year, as the calendar approaches July, people across America start to feel excitement and anticipation. Why? Because it’s almost time for their annual trip North of the Tension Line.

Pretty soon they’re humming familiar songs that make them think of Washington Island. One that always comes to mind is . . .
The Ballad of Figenschau Bay

Then they realize that they are coming down with that highly contagious summer malady . . .
Island Fever

When they get to the Island they realize that every day is . . .
Another Day in Paradise

They hope the week will never end because they don’t want those . . .
South of the Tension Line Blues
And remember, to visualize your memories you can always purchase a copy of my book, North of the Tension Line at Fair Isle Books and Gifts.
