But not for long. My lovely wife and I had planned on hitting the water on Wednesday, but we decided to wait one more day. The weather is a bit wetter than originally predicted and the winds will be shifting direction later too.
Then there is the last minute provisioning and packing to do. We are taking the time to be a little more methodical about it.
Our original plans may have been too ambitions. We decided to not focus on distance and focus on fun. Suddenly, the whole trip opened up. There’s a lot of interesting stops along the way that are now worth considering.
One of the problems with trying to cover a lot of distance is that we’d have to burn gas to do it. I hate to burn gas. It is a sailboat. Tacking to get to a destination doesn’t bother me that much, even though it takes longer. That just means more time sailing. I like sailing.
My dad volunteered to keep the truck and trailer at his place. All we have to do is call him when we are ready to be picked up. That sure beats the heck out of leaving the truck at a boat ramp for days or weeks on end.
My posting might get a bit spotty, depending on if we can find open wifi signals. It also might depend on how beautiful the night is. If my blog doesn’t show up, just assume it’s because I’m having a rum and watching a beautiful sunset on the water.

ReplyDeleteLet us know if you get within hailing distance.
ReplyDeleteBest thing is that Rum goes with anything !
It ain't the destination, it's the journey. Most times I hit the water not having a clue where I want to go...
ReplyDeleteSlow and steady reveals more. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteGood sailing! Have a ballast!
ReplyDeleteGee, you sure are living a rough life, buddy!
ReplyDeleteBeats the heck out of the snow, doesn't it? Hey, you enjoy the weather and have a great time on the water!
Slainte!
ReplyDeleteI am going to a benefit for Alzheimer's my brothers girlfriend puts on every year.
A Dungeness crab feed.
She is a sweet heart and I have known her for twenty years.
I will raise a toast to you privately.
If you EVER get a chance to get your mitts on some Dungeness crab, grab all you can carry with both hands and run.
It makes King crab oe Blue crab taste like cardboard, seriously sweet and delicious.
