My boss invited Michael & I to go sailing with him this past weekend. Michael being a bit of a sailing aficionado, will never turn down a sailing invitation. So Sunday afternoon found us driving around to Bainbridge Island to meet up with my boss and his girlfriend. However, the air was still around us as we made our way across the Tacoma Narrows bridge. We turned on the weather band radio where we heard the barometer was dropping, so had hopes that we had a fun day under the sail before us.
Alas, we made it to the marina in Winslow Harbor with no signs of wind picking up. The water below us was glassy and still. Not wanting to let a beautiful day pass us by or the opportunity to be out on the water, we fired up the outboard motor and made our way out to the Sound.
Here we saw ripples across the surface of the water, but every time we head in the direction of possible wind, we found none. At some point, we turned off the outboard motor and decided to drift while we had a bite to eat. Away from water traffic, we could sit and relax as we watched the tugs chug past and ferries glide to their destinations.
A bad day on the water is still better than not being on the water at all.
