I'm off the boat for a few days. After the weekend of sailing and
swimming I ended up with a sore throat and then I overdid it with more
sailing and some time in a kayak yesterday. I'm toasted with a summer
cold. Eck. Luckily, tomorrow's a quiet day with just a few friends and
an easy BBQ. Suzanne will work the night shift and I'll recover fast.
So no sailing, pics or vids for a couple of days, folks. Sorry.

Sailing on the 4th is always a pain anyway since all the motorboaters will
be out in full force, under the influence, making wake, and then there's
the idiots on the jetskis....sailing on national holidays is never a good
idea...

Rich and Marro were nearly run down by a powerboat a couple of weeks ago.
The guy finally bothered to look in front of his boat and swerve with about
15' to spare. He was doing about 35 mph. Marro went over the side, and
Rich hesitated just long enough to have been toast if the guy hadn't turned.
Good thing he remained, as their sailboat was still underway and it would
have motored on without them if Rich had gone over.
