Our first night on the boat for the season is marked by calm winds and stunning display of color as the sun sets on another beautiful Superior day. Ah, to be back!!
As always, it's a typical busy start to the season. Bedding, towels, and upholstery have been washed. He hull has been cleaned and waxed. In addition to cleaning the inside, all interior teak has been massaged to rich vibrant tones with a fresh application of oil. Both staterooms now boast new memory foam mattresses. Cradled in comfort, rocked by the gentle waves....we look forward to a season of rest and rejuvenation.
Tomorrow brings the yacht club fishing contest and while we typically participate (and sometimes win!), it's likely we will instead continue bringing Blue Ayes back to ship-shape condition. We'll engage in the afternoon festivities of cocktails, dinner, and membership meeting with good friends that have spent the last several months scattered to their respective corners of the upper Midwest. It's good to be together again.
Watching Buttons, it seems like she never left the boat. No doubt she is anxious for a trip to the islands where she'll be treated to "dinghy rides" and romps on the beach. Can you blame her?
The next few months have a myriad of suprises in store. What might they be?? Will the fish be plentiful? The dive sites clear? Will island secrets reveal themselves? Are there new friends to be made?
And so begins more Adventures of Blue Ayes....
