..And Back
Weather forecasts threatening continuous rain and thunder-showers kept us from wandering far from Shelter [Island]. The actual weather, even if overcast, was delightful (breezes 10-20 mph), so we could have taken Blue further than we did. Why does the Weather Channel turn every threat of precipitation into a potential calamity requiring constant monitoring? Just to keep us glued to the tube, I suppose... Me, I'd rather get wet.
Meantime, Theo, back on the water for the first time in a year, got her sea legs back and did excellent service as dinghy captain.
