Let's go Sailing!

That's what Suz said when I got home from a week at an out of state conference. "It was 55 degrees and sunny today. It's supposed to be warmer tomorrow.

I looked at the weather on my PDA...cold, windy with a chance of rain. Oh well, it had been several weeks since we had been up to Dragonfly. It would be fun to go up to the lake.

Suz was up early and ready to go. She had on her new Nautica jacket, Lattitude & Attitudes "Love for Sailing" t-shirt and new West Marine boat shoes. She gave me time for a cup of coffee before we pulled out the sails and new safety tether and head for the boat.

"What's that?" Suz said with dissapointment as we pulled into the marina parking lot. The lake was covered with ice. Only the marina was open.

From March 6

"Maybe we can still put on the sails and motor through the marina to open water on the north," Suz suggested as we loaded the sails in a cart and headed for the boat. Her plans changed quickly when we got to Dragonfly. The wind blowing off the ice was cold!

We stowed the sails, checked the other sailboats in the marina and headed to lunch at the Rustic Oak Cabin before heading home.

The weather forecast suggests the ice will be gone in a few days.

Sea you at the lake soon.
