The 3 H's

SHIP'S LOG:

     Yesterday was like a late July, early August day. It was hazy, hot & humid.  It is a day when you want to be on the water. It is a day to go sailing . . .  and so I did. True, ABISHAG is still tied to a dock up in Portland, but she "ain't the only girl at the dance."

     Jim Avery makes sure that his boat, a Nonsuch 26, is in the water on April Fool's Day. Now Jim is a little long in the tooth and his daughter, Ellen, doesn't like it when he goes sailing by himself. However, Jim wants to go sailing every day the sun comes up, so he is always looking for crew. All it took was a simple phone call and we spent the afternoon enjoying a very relaxing sail during which we basically had the ocean to ourselves. It really was a perfect day. one of those that you wish could go on forever. However, all good things must come to an end. The worst part was climbing back into to my "hot" car for the "hot" ride back to my "hot" residence.  I was actually kind of hoping that the heat and humidity would produce a nice thunderstorm but such was not the case and that actually made sleeping a little difficult at night, as a house just doesn't orient itself to the evening breeze!
