Squeezed in a good one.

The weather all week predicted a gloomy, wet Saturday, but we held out high hopes.  Then on Friday, the forecast changed and on the day of our trip it was perfect.  Temp 75 degrees, light wind, and most importantly, no rain.  Jessie and Darius met us at 4pm as planned, after touring the Cowboys Stadium as part of Darius' birthday gift.  Cathryn couldn't make it with us, as she was in southwest Florida having fun with her girlfriends on the beaches.  Fortunately my good friend Jerome was able to fill in and help as the First Mate.  The wind was light, but we were still able to sail around the lake at about 2.5 knots, just right for food and drinks and conversation in the cockpit.  Jessie and Darius made great company and shared their dreams of one day sailing around a lake of their own in North Carolina.  We hope you had a wonderful birthday, Darius. And thank you Jessie for reaching out to us.  And Jessie, just take one step toward your dream and before you know it, you'll be there.
