Summer Sailstice

Sailboats all over the United States will be gathering tonight to celebrate Summer Sailstice. As the Earth leans as far to the south as it can, the boats will gather for a good time at Berthold Bay. Around the campfire songs will be sung, glasses will be emptied, and sailors will tell the same lies over and over. In the morning people will slowly crawl out of the ships moored side by side and greet the day. Pancakes will be flipped, coffee will be brewed, and another day of sailing will begin. Perhaps the fleet will go on to Heaven bay. Maybe someone will greet the first rattlesnake of the season. The lake is as high as it has been in many years. The boats can get back into secret places they have not been in a long time. The sailing will be good, and so will the company.
