Took my final sail of the season today, with the sun raging red to
starboard, and the 3/4 moon coming over my port. I sailed in bliss, so
much so it became dark and I couldn't see the mooring. Happily, someone on
the shore flashed a headlight just my way. Every other year I've said, "Oh
one more week," but it gets too cold and I don't sail anyway. So, I haul
her tomorrow. I still have the kayak, because a whole winter away from the
water is too much, and in a kayak I stay warm paddling. Until next spring!
