Gearing up...


Getting ready for work today.  I originally had a charter that would have taken most of the day.  They canceled yesterday.  Now, booked for at least one public trip today.  May turn into two.

Oh, and this is really the last work day.

The "gearing up" from the title: it rained most of the night.  The weather weasels are calling for rain on and off this morning.  I will get to ride the scoot on those water-standing-in-the-dips roads one more time.  Back in "real life" mode, I don't choose to ride in the rain.

This boat has an open flybridge, which means you are on top of the cabin while running the boat.  Good visibility, but you are open to the weather.  Oh, there is a canvas bimini top, which does provide some shade, but once you are moving in the rain... you are going to get wet.

So, rain gear is the dress code for the day.  Even though there are some forecasted "sunbreaks" for later in the day.  The wind is down to single digits this morning, but I expect the water to still be churned up for a while.  Back to low double digits for the afternoon.

Yep.  Gearing up.
