Thursday Night Boatloading
Chris and I used to describe the new boat we planned to buy as our Tuesday Night boat. Something easy enough to take out on a whim. We never seemed to find a boat that fit that bill. But we have made good on our plan to take advantage of everyone we know who does own a boat and might be looking for some company. Chris's co-worker Steve called us out of the blue Thursday night and offered us a sunset spin. Steve's boat is very fast, kind of scary fast, and also very fun. It's the opposite of everything we know about boating which I really enjoyed getting to see what this life would look like. So many options, you've got to try them all.
We were going 32 knots at one point, which is 4X the speed of Betty. Sped into a suddenly-appearing wall of fog in the outer harbor and had to stop on a dime. Really fun.
