It
seems like summer and spring traded places
this
year in the Pacific Northwest. I
don't mind. I sort of
enjoy being on the water as more
filters down from
the sky. We ran a few last minute errands,
then moored
off Jones
Island where Thomas fiddled with his
fishing
jigs. He's on a mission to master as
many survival
skills as possible. Me, I'm less of
a prepper. If shit
goes down, I'd rather just go down
with it. That
seems simpler and less stressful.
After Jones, just
a short hop to Deer
Harbor, where we connected with
some other Seattle
peeps who were celebrating the
opening of crab
season with a party on a
picnic barge.
It was pretty gruesome watching live
crabs stabbed
and torn in two. I filmed it but do
I really need to
share that here? Sailing is not
without its dangers,
but sometimes the riskiest thing is
leaving a
party, as
Thomas discovered when he splashed
right into the
gap between the barge and the dock.
He was lucky to
get away with only some scrapes and
a dented shin.
Maybe the
moon made us crazy. We stayed up
late
on Vive making up sea chanties like
drunken sailors.
Very, very much like drunken
sailors.
