Hot! Real Hot! Damn Hot!

SHIP'S LOG:

Actually, yesterday was too, too bad, merely horrible. we were lucky enough to have an on-shore breeze, which meant that because the land heated up faster than the water, the air over it rose, sucking in the air from over the water which was much cooler. Still it was hot, real hot, damn hot, and humid too! But then I guess I am not telling you much of anything new, am I?

Today is supposed to be worse! It is payback for all the winter cold and snow. It is probably what all the locals dreamt about in December and January, forgetting what it could really be like when the hot weather machine gets into full gear . . . and it is only July!

Hopefully there will be enough wind to go out for a sail today. It may end up being pretty much of a float as oppose to a sail but the difference from being on land will be very noticeable. Just walking from the clubhouse to the launch dock takes you out over the water and that drops the temperature a bunch, or at least if feels that way. It's a good day for air conditioning, which I don't have, or at least a swim. Right now the 53 degree Maine Ocean water sound pretty good. O, to be "blue" and shivering!
