Being raised a Hoosier....
I am grateful that I moved south!!!
Started out just replacing the mast boot and when it turned 70 degrees, I asked the Admiral if we could sail, she said yes!
“Attend now, my braves. I have mustered ye all round this capstan; and ye mates, flank me with your lances; and ye harpooneers, stand there with your irons; and ye, stout mariners, ring me in, that I may in some sort revive a noble custom of my fisherman fathers before me. O men, you will yet see that—Ha! boy, come back? bad pennies come not sooner. Hand it me. Why, now, this pewter had run brimming again, were't not thou St. Vitus' imp—away, thou ague!”
Ok, there was no crossing of harpoons or Melville but you get the picture.
It was one of those days when everything was perfect, in balance and so on.....
As we left our little bayou, a sailing buddy took this photo. Then, one of my favorite sailling bloggers and neighbor , Annie Dike (havewindwilltravel.com) happened by and took more photos. Beautiful day, wind at 14 knots yet no real fetch, no motor vessels, just beautiful!
More complments to the Ericson family.
