Rainy days and Mondays
Tax day and rain make a recipe for sitting here quietly and updating the
web site. Outisde it's 65 and steady rain. The wind has died down a
little bit and the north wind has us riding high in the water as the wind
blows water up river. The problem with wind tides is they are not as
predictable as moon tides. Last night Sam and I put up the tent over the
cockpit/boom and so the cockpit is mostly dry. This time we pulled the
outdoor seat cushions indoors to stay dry.
Yesterday we spent the afternoon with new friends of ours who moved from
Colorado to get away from the crazyness. They came with their kids to
visit the boat and get to know us better. One of our goals with going
crusing is to spend more time in the real world with real people. real
human interaction is far superior to electronic and without it culture
dies. This is the time to unplug from the virtual and get back to the
real world.
The wind is howling gently through the rigging and as the boat rocks
I'm sitting here typing on my computer as we eat our morning
breakfast of eggs and crackers. The rain will be increasing throughout the
day so I think we will just sit here and stay warm and dry in our boat.
