Sails Up at Last!


COVID-19 has definitely had an impact on sailing and racing this summer. We’re not likely to see a Duck Dodge this year. Poor Full Moon has only been out of the marina a few times since March and even then mainly just to exercise the outboard.

I took a day off yesterday, though, to go sailing with my sons. We ventured out onto Lake Washington so we could buzz by a friend’s house (well away from their dock, of course) and there was actually a decent breeze north of Sand Point. I’m glad we headed out there as Lake Union was quite the zoo when we got back. If there had been a Duck Dodge, it would have terrifying to try to sail through all the traffic!


Sorry not to have photos but the Mountain was Out, the sky was blue, the sun was warm, and the beverages were ice cold. A great time was had by all!
