Sailing again...



See that little white spec out there in the middle of the river? That's the St. Lawrence River by the way and that's John & Terry on the first sail of the season. While it is really beautiful looking out that direction, they said it was even more beautiful looking toward the camera. A rain storm had just gone over and there was a perfect rainbow over the island.

I suppose I really should share that all was not totally calm on the boat. The boat had not been in the water since last year and wooden boats do need a few "adjustment" hours in the water to allow them to swell before they become water tight. Let's just say John & Terry's pumpin' arms got a fairly good workout on this little excursion. However, they made it safely back to shore and Fred did not have to be called away from his watering chores to man the rescue boat.
