Plans; What are they good for? Absolutely Nothing!
Or..just Boat mode always wins

Boy we had great plans…Plans to enjoy a quite Friday night in the slip together with a couple bottles of Renu 22 Malbak and a movie. Plans to spend the long weekend sailing and anchoring out. Plans to sail with some new friends to Gibson Island. Plans to wear shorts and be warm. No Plan to run the heater at night. Plans….

Well Friday went according to plan, except for having to run the heater all night tom stay warm.

Saturday; 25-25 kts (Gusts to mid 30’s) of cold wind out of the north-west pinned us in the slip. So we cleaned the boat, polished up the Plexiglas side lights so we could finally see out. Tina bought me a great dive bag for my gear that works really well. But all of that was not the original plan.

Sunday we could have gotten out in the late morning or afternoon but Tina started feeling poor and we found out she actually had a 24 hour bug. So she was down and out all Sunday afternoon and Monday.

Monday AM Tina was still OOC so I got the Kayak out and paddled around awhile. Had a great visit on Surly Mermaid then Hannah and Dan arrived for a visit. Now that was according to plan. I got to tour a great harbor 37 which is a really nice boat.

We had a great visit with Hannah and Dan and Cathy and Bill and dancing on H dock with the Doc and his crew. Back to the boat for a night cap and then to bed.

So not according to any pre-plan but Boat Mode always rules and we had a great week end anyway

If I were to create any boat mode rules I think the first three or four of those rules would be;
1. Don’t make plans.
2. Plan to have fun
3. Enjoy life don’t wait for the plans to work

I have said this before and I know I will be saying it again and again and again…We have a GREAT LIFE!

Until next time, have fun and enjoy the life you have!
