The weather looks great for us this Memorial Day weekend and we may take the
boat out Saturday and Monday. I also want to give my son some first hand
experience to see how stupid some folks can be on the water and figure this
will be a great opportunity for it. I will be at the helm as I know how
crazy it will probably be.

He received his boating safety class certification over the winter by
attending the Power Squadron classes and I want to give him some on water
time fine tuning instructions before I allow him to take it out on his own.
I also plan to take him out (just him and me) next week to go over docking
and key features of the boat he needs to know.

The nicest day of the weekend (weather wise) is expected to be Sunday but we
will be happy being away from the boat that day...........that same son of
mine is graduating from High School that day and my daughter will be home
for the ceremony and celebratory dinner (that I am cooking). ;-)

So what are your plans?


Indulgence is now about 3 weeks from done. I'll be up at the boatyard
on Sunday and Monday paying homage to the goddess Bernice. I haven't
been able to convice my wife to join me. She keeps saying that whenever
the boat needs work (or costs money) that it's
*my* boat. Go figure? She's happy enough to spend a few weeks on "my"
boat every year- and I notice she has a keen interest in choosing new
window coverings, etc. Aw well, looks like it will just be me and
Bernice this weekend.

(Bernice was a Norse goddess of the woodlands, and her name is the
etymological root for
"varnish"- a product that essentially uses the essence of wood itself
to enhance the appearance the material's appearance.)
