  • an LOP on the spot

Went down to PSA to reteieve all the gear and items I had left on the committee boat.  Any OPB I've ever sailed on KNOWS that I always leave stuff on board.  I think it's a subconscious tactic to get invited back, as I am certainly a talent-less hack.

But still.

I had not taken a kayak out in months. Years.

Well, a few weeks.  And I had a mission.  RAINBOW really needs a bottom scrub (and also a bottom job, probably including a new barrier coat) but for now I just want to scape the junk off. But I needed confirmation of a good location, out of any seaway, off the beaten track and in deep enough water to don a wetsuit and fins and go for a swim.

So I found a sandy bottom off a significant dropoff near a shoal close to the club and one day I will swim...hopefuly prior to the annual sea nettle invasion.

Having two keelboats is killing me.

Plus: I think Kasey Musgraves is stalking me.  A cardinal over me as I loaded the car up this a.m., then one acting like a shore bird in Blackhole Creek. Then on XPN on the ride home.

Cardinals do not act like shore birds and a lot of people I know have died this week....
