It was crispy
We were out in the Rosario Strait and around Fidalgo for about three hours. We actually got a smidgen of sunshine.

The older I get the less I can differentiate between our four seasons. It is getting so it seems more like two. "Wet and not wet" with a 75-25 split. Those t-shirt sailors are starting to look smarter then I am...

So, here I am, sitting on the boat working vitually and
it's blowing so hard the gulls are grounded. The intrepid few I saw in the air were flying backwards. Most of 'em are walking around on the ground. They're probably afraid of ending up in Montana if they take off so they're running around the marina looking for handouts. It was blowing 60 last night and this is supposed to last through tomorrow. I had to unfurl the Genny and refurl it because it was getting loose up top. Not much fun in 40 knots by yourself.

we are going out...
First thing Saturday Morning, out for an overnight on the hook. We were having sailing withdrawals. I can't wait.
