Yawn!

SHIP'S LOG:

Both Tuesday and Wednesday were great sailing days. The wind was just fine, thank you, and the there was no rains, thank you again, and there was no humidity, say a big "Thank You!" It is great to get out sailing though the "getting out" is sometimes a bit trying. One has to overcome inertia but once that happens, the sailing is glorious.  When ABISHAG is close-haul, rail-down, "scudding along with a bone in her teeth," I wish that there was nothing to prevent her from heading to the far horizon. True, six miles east or south will put you in the actual ATLANTIC Ocean, but you have to work to get there. However, the idea of picking a course, setting the sails once and just going on that tact "forever' gets very appealing.

I am afraid that the humidity is coming back and that with it will be the real potential for some serious storms. It always takes one to blow it out and often they came be quite intense. But I'll take them as the humidity just saps your strength, your energy and your enthusiasm.

Now that it is August, it has become very clear that the days are getting shorter and that heralds the onset of Fall and decision time once again. Do I stay North or go South? If I stay North, just where do I stay, since I have to find a winter home not only for ABISHAG but for me as well. If I go South, just how fare South and just where South? Less than last time or further than last time? Which do I want to deal with, winter weather or summer weather, though this past year, it was warmer at times in New England than it was in Florida! Such questions!

But then there is that sage advice from somebody or other, "Never do today what you can out off until tomorrow."
