We are lucky... We managed to launch and step on time without a COVID derailment. So far, there has not been any infringement on our ability to sail our boat. Tomorrow we ( as a country) would normally celebrate the Independence that our forefathers fought for. Now all events ( in most areas) have been cancelled.
Our long standing tradition of a family day of sailing followed by anchoring for a stern rail BBQ to await the fireworks that would quite literally be going overhead is now broken... Lots of memories...Our son chose this setting to propose to his bride while both families watched...A neighboring boat with ( a just happened to be there professional photographer) captured the moment, yelled over to confirm what had just happened and asked for my email address to send the pics to....Our son, now a police officer has been sailing since he was 2 weeks old. His youngest will need to wait for next year before starting his tradition.. These are the type of events that we all will put on hold for a year. And while we will still be on the water tomorrow, it will be a bit different.
Hoping that you all find ways to enjoy the Holiday despite of the changes forced upon us.
HAPPY Independence Day
