Singing in the Rain

What a beautiful feeling with rain in my face, my white-ees are wet, and seals slithering by give all a big high... just singing, singing in the rain.

Splish, splash - like taking a bath.
Seven certifiably crazy women went out into the bay.
Yes, yes we did.
And you know what? It was fun!



Verite was a bit full.







The birthday girl!






Hot Lifeboat tea, birthday cake, and some other wonderful treats... 
it just doesn't get better - rain or shine.

Wonder women

I am sure there were those who looked out their windows last Monday, March 6th, wondered...
What the heck are those women doing now? After all it was, in a polite word,  inclement. 

Well, when wowers decide to row - we go - come wind or waves or winter weather. Five brave souls went out that day... and five revitalized souls came back. We slept really good that night. After all we survived!


What's a little rain, right?  


Fashion alert - there's bright yellow gear to wear!


It started off all fun and games.


Till we saw the spout like cloud come down with the shower clouds,
but it was sunny on our patch of water so why go home?
 




We only got a few feet past the bridge - thanks to the wind.


The wind brought us to an unlikely port in the storm which 
under normal circumstances would have not been attempted.



Yet, there's nothing quite like having a hot cup of Lifeboat tea 
to give the needed boost for the row home 
while you review your options. 

 



It all ended quietly... 
little yellow ducks waddled up the plank quacking...
just another marvelous day
aboard our beloved Vérité.
