THE WEEKEND

It turned out to be a really nice weekend after all.  The weatherman certainly was not giving us much encouragement, with predictions of rain for most of the weekend.  But, thankfully, as usual the weather man was wrong. 

Friday was a beautiful day, with the odd very short and intermittent sun shower.  Until after dinner when a number of us were sitting out enjoying the sunshine and a real downpour occurred.  We all made a quick dash to our boat and socialized for a couple of hours on board Thunderbird. 

Saturday, we had sunshine for the whole day as well.  There was a Wine and Cheese get together at the club in the afternoon, which was well attended.  A number of people went out cruising Saturday evening as well.  And the rain held off and I was even able to sleep with the hatch over our bed open. 

Sunday was a replay of the rest of the weekend, but with much more threatening looking clouds.  Although it got a little cool with the cloud cover, we were able to sit out (with jackets on) until around 3:00 pm.  Then it started to spit a little so we adjourned to our boats. 

The rain never amounted to much, but most stayed on board until after dinner, then we had a couple more hours of outdoor weather. All in all a good weekend. The only sad thing to report is that we have lost one of our little goslings. That family of 5 is now down to 4. 

 

 

 

SO THAT WAS OUR WEEKEND
