Default Rainy Day Sail

I had hopes that today would be like yesterday....cloudy, cool and
breezy...but we only got the last part. An hour into the sail rain
became steady and pretty annoying. I still love the sound of the rain
on the water and we were sailing beautifully, but no fun for Thomas
below decks for most of it, so we came back fast.


Yeah it sucks to have to sit out in foul weather.
I too love sailing in the rain, cleans the sails nicely.

To bad you can not enjoy a sail in a heavy rain, Thomas would love
sitting on my dash and watching the lighting and squalls, and water
spouts. Good thing is keeping him below will surely help him develope a
sence of balance and cause his inner ears to adjust and mature faster.
He will be immune to sea-sickness all his life.

We were the only
sailboat out. When we got back I finally hooked up the wireless laptop
and tomorrow will mount our new gear.
Ah well. This should all clear out by Wednesday....and we'll sail every
day there's wind!

Hope you all are getting in some sailing!
