Yep... still raining. And cold. A physical form of my favorite element... I like rain, but it is too young to be of much use to me. I like it better after it has migrated, matured and settled down. An old salt among other old salts; my favorite playground. Cold is altogether different. Sneaky and good at mind games it waits outside until you have been on the couch in a warm living room for a while. When the time is right it sends a quick draft from the window to trick you into thinking that it is REALLY cold... somehow urging the blanket out of the hall closet and power to the TV. Cold seems to want you to be still and not move. Fortunately, Cold in our neighborhood is WEAK and can not stand in the face of a good cup of coffee, proper clothing and getting... OUT THERE! This is my favorite time of year to scurry around getting ready for the summer; doing any number of small tasks that should not be left until they interfere with my summer sailing plans! In addition to that, there are Multihull things to do!
I am sure this is only a partial list... feel free to fill in any blanks! I am always surprised how less cold it seems once I get started and how overly warm the house feels when I get back inside. Happy February! |
