Fall Sailing is hard to beat.

Yesterday at the Commander's insistence we made the trip to the lake to clean the good ship Sovereign. With the boat pressure washed for the first time in a thousand years it looks like we may be able to head west today.  This time of year you don't have to contend with the heat.  The water stays warm enough for a swim, or to dive in and get a regulator. Last weekend the Commander dropped the regulator for the gas grill on the back of the boat into about 15 feet of water. Reluctantly Kadizzle had to dive down and retrieve it.

If all goes well we may end up in Moose Bay today.  Maybe the moose will be there.  At this point it looks like the rest of the fleet will not sail out until tomorrow.  Who knows where we might go?  One possibility is back to Quinn's Crack.  Why?  When we were last their Chuck left a nice pair of binoculars.  With luck the rain and weather has not damaged them.

With a small fleet we can go where the fair winds take us.  With modern technology most of the trip has cell phone service.  One sad note.  An oil rig is currently working at the mouth of Lucky Mound Bay.  Lucky Mound is a nice spot, but no one wants to listen to an oil rig drilling all night for America's opium
