Just wild out there

We were invited for a ride on Chaika with Em and Gregg on this beautiful, crisp, windy day. They picked us up at the Mere Point boat launch, and we had a good tour of the local waters in the new custodians' first real outing in the boat. April 29, holy mackerel! And was it ever cold out there. We all shipped some water, but Chaika handled the waters well, and the skipper, Em, did a great job. And under Gregg's care, the craft is soignée. (Not, of course, that it was ill cared-for before.)  It appears that Chaika is in good hands. It also appears that I am not going boating again on a cold windy day in April.
