don't I wish


I had left Spartina down on the waterfront the evening before so it just took a few minutes to break down the boom tent and motor out of the basin.  Mizzen up just a little after 6:30.  We rounded into the breeze to raise the main, sails tinted orange by the dawn light.  Looking over to the schooner pier I saw the Pilgrim - my wife - out for a run before work.  I waved, she waved back.  Light but steady breezes, I had the river to myself.  Shouldn't every morning be like this?
