We are back from the boat to attend Brandon Doty’s graduation tomorrow.\u00a0 On arrival at the homestead this afternoon I started to mow the hay field that our yard has become.\u00a0 Soon after it started to rain, lightly at first, and I kept mowing.\u00a0 The grass was plugging up the mower deck and I was going very slow and watching the great plugs of grass come shooting out onto the lawn.\u00a0 I finally finished in very heavy rain with the water spitting out the mower.\u00a0 I came up from the barn and took a hot shower as I was thoroughly chilled and soaked.\u00a0 By the time I was done with this the sky was brightening up.\u00a0 Oh well, it was a different type of thing to do that I had never done before.\u00a0 Now I am trying to catch up on internet related things because we have become internet challenged up at the boat.\u00a0 Hopefully, this will be resolved in the near future.<\/p>\n
We went sailing yesterday and it was great.\u00a0 Winds were pretty steady at 10 knots out of the NW with periods of gusts of about 14 kts.\u00a0 We did a lot of tacking for practice and tried a few new techniques to make life easier.\u00a0 We are starting to raise and lower the sail while still in the river mouth as the winds are usually blanketed and this gives us fairly stable waters with which to be up front.\u00a0 Also we are removing the sail covers and raising the boom out of the gallows before we depart the dock.\u00a0 This was SAM can concentrate on piloting the boat while I am up on top getting ready to sail.\u00a0 All this makes it much more enjoyable and relaxing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
