A lotta rain the last month. It may be a long wait till spring, plates and the Bonnie back on the road.

We took the Siren up to the interior and did some lake sailing. I don't believe her bottom has ever seen freshwater. Something serene about sailing the lakes, no tides, no currents.

Just warm water & a warm wind.

On a warm day, if the wind is just right, you can catch the smell of the pine forests on the shores.

I've had the trailer sailer for a couple of years now and keep thinking I should try some lake sailing, several to choose from locally and out of town.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

— Lt.-Col. John McCrae

Summer has passed.

Well, That's it.
The Motorcycle plates have expired for the year and the sailboat is outta the water.
Oh well, lots to do this winter. Big refit list for the little sailboat and a few repairs on the Bonnie.
