Changing seasons

Finally, after a long and very busy season of chartering and sailing schools, we are winding down activity on the dock at Sailing Florida.  Quite a few of our boats are out on charter now, but when they return they will be idle for some time. 

With this change comes a change in the weather too.  It's rainy season now.  Overcast skies.  Threat of rain and thunder showers.  We don't have the intense sunshine that normally wears us out while working on the dock, but it's still very warm. 

For me, this is a time for adjusting to the change of seasons.  I'm not needed around the dock as much.  There will be lots of repairs and maintenance to do on the boats over the next few months.  But this week I'm taking a break.  Changing gears.  Spending time at home.  Taking some time for personal pursuits.  Beginning to put a small dent in the reading that has been stacking up.  And taking a rest before my next adventure.      

Next Tuesday I fly to Provodenciales in the Turks and Caicos to begin the long sail to Virgin Gorda.
