Our Lake Washington series begins today! We have reason to be optimistic:

• We didn’t sell the boat and by a family cruiser as some wanted to do.
• The bottom was totally re-done, two thru-hulls were patched, and we burnished the foam rollered paint to a very smooth finish.
• We have a new, longer, class maximum head stay, although we haven’t shortened the shrouds and back stays yet. Could be an issue if it gets breezy.
• We have new electronics, and as they say, nothing goes to weather faster than money.
• And one more year under the belts.

The weather forecast:

TODAY…SHOWERS LIKELY. HIGHS IN THE MID 40S TO LOWER 50S. SOUTHWEST WIND AROUND 10 MPH.

TONIGHT…MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS. LOWS IN THE MID 30S TO LOWER 40S. SOUTH WIND TO 10 MPH.

Good enough!
