The Lost Weekend

We had all sorts of plans this weekend to get some long-overdue maintenance work done on boats, cars, what-have-you. But when Saturday dawned so lovely and warm, all those plans went out with the tide. The entire weekend was spent on the water and we weren’t alone. We literally saw hundreds of boats ditch their ‘honey do’ lists to go out for a mellow sail.

Part of the fun for us was experiencing our first Coastie boarding of the Latitude 38 photoboat. Knowing we were all legal — well, we had forgotten to apply our new registration stickers but luckily they were on the boat — we weren’t a bit worried and really enjoyed chatting with the young men. We were interested to learn that the biggest infraction they cite for is out-of-date registration, so if you haven’t renewed (or attached your new stickers!), don’t delay.

If you couldn’t tear yourself away from shoreside duties this weekend, don’t worry. Next weekend’s forecast is for more sunny skies. We don’t want to jinx anything but could the dreary winter weather really be over?
