WhimSea's Log

On April 10th when we headed north to wax the boat, we marveled at the progression of the spring in the trees, the grass, everything.

On April 16th when we made the same trip for our first sail of the season, we again saw those signs of spring progressing in the trees. The spring green against the deeper green of the evergreen trees. It's pretty awesome.

Today as we made the journey, we marveled at the patches of snow in the shadows of those same trees, now fully crowned with leaves. Near home there was a hard frost and clear signs of snow, but up in Duluth..... closer to 1.5 to 2 inches of snow was still on the ground when we rolled into town. I can't believe that the boat's been in the water for a month and NOW we get snow!

At least it gave us a really good reason to take a nice long nap on Saturday.

Afterward we met Dave and Deb, Michael and Kathy and Dave's family for Dave's birthday celebration at the Buffalo.

A great day.
