A gathering of Sailors

With our sailing friends we had a nice supper last night in Gold Canyon.  As usual a few old stories cropped up about fouled anchors and other adventures.  The sailing gang is planning a two week sail this summer instead of the regular one week sail where we explore the lake.

We have been sailing for a long time together and now we are getting old together.  Time is taking it's toll on our bodies, but some wind in the sails this summer will restore us all.  What is the fascination people have with water?  People want to be near water.  All the campers here at lake Roosevelt are camped on the beach.  People build homes beside lakes and oceans.  Supposedly we came from the seas.  Our bodies are mostly salt water.  Maybe it is an urge to go back to a simpler time when we just swam around and ate smaller fish. 

Now we are on land swimming in a sea of cars and pollution.  The primordial sea may have been the place to stay.
