Yeah... you wish........
It was 34 degrees Celcius here today. Hot and only a slight breeze. Two days of sailing this weekend and I tied one on last night when we got into the Bay Landing at 2000 hrs from a day sail.... well although it was only a day sail we left at 0900hrs Sunday from Shag Bay and sailed out to sea... at 1500hrs and well out on the ocean practicing high swell tactics. I had to dive today so I elected to pull the boat into where I would be working today. What a blast... it was about as confused a sea as you could get with winds to maybe 10 to 15 knots. Sailing in those conditions requires a different set of skills to keep the vessel punching through and making way. We got to sail for a bit alongside a Nor-Sea 27. They turned back at the 5 mile offshore mark because it wasn't fun for them anymore. Today I spent the entire day and 3 tanks of time with a whooper of a hangover setting and repairing another 8 moorings and the rest of the finger piers on the dock extension. Try squeezing into a 7mm wetsuit with a really bad sunburned carcass and a hangover on a really hot day!! So... my weekend was sailing and drinking, sailing & drinking, diving and drinking.... [ heh, I needed the hair of the dog to ditch the Molson's Malaria] Time for a good night's sleep.... more diving tomorrow. CM |
