Back to the grind

Despite the weather being less than stellar and the fact that I backed out of what was to be my first triathlon I have to say that I had a stellar weekend. I got to spend a lot of time with my beautiful wife and even a little hydro therapy.
A walk down memory lane had Mari and I reenacting our first date which meant an evening at the local bowling alley. Some how my memory failed me in remembering that she kicked my butt the first time we bowled and the same was to happen this time around as well. I think I must have let her win the first time to make her feel good but not the case this time around. All right I can't lie, I am a terrible bowler and my wife may have a future in the WPBA. Good times at any rate.
Saturday we headed out to the lake for a little time on the water...for me anyways. It was an absolute perfect sail with the winds clocking in around 8-10 knots with some stronger gust. Five others from the club setup buoys for some quick practice in preparation for our upcoming regatta. I ignored about half the practice as I was having way to much fun blasting speed runs back and forth across the lake to want to spoil the fun by mock racing. I later joined in and had just as much fun as everyone piled up at the mark roundings to make for an ideal regatta situation. Last minute maneuvering was the order of the day for avoiding collisions...high on the fun meter. Once the rest of the gang headed in I stayed out for another run at the MC Scow speed record...probably not even close but enough to bury a Catalina 22 out cruising around. It was a struggle to slow my boat down enough to match his speed for a quick conversation.
Sunday we headed over to Cocoa to view a windsurfing wave competition which never happened since those guys need a steady 15 knots of air to even consider heading out. Just as well we got spend a little time at the beach and time together.
