9/25: Playing Hooky on the Summertime
Okay, I started the sea-kayaking blog to get the non-gallery stuff off the gallery blog, so how does this one fit in exactly? This is the reason the gallery was closed yesterday afternoon. I had a chance to go sailing, and I took it.
Captain Bill Brown of the Summertime was sailing back to Bucks Harbor, and though he has sailed the pinky schooner single-handed, didn't mind having me along as crew.
We motored/sailed west through the Thorofare until we were passed Andrews Island. Then, without the motor, we caught a nice breeze and I took the helm for the next few hours, all the way to Bucks Harbor. We had nice, late-day sunlight for most of the trip, followed by a nearly full moon rising over Little Deer Isle.
I usually find it pretty difficult to just close the gallery and leave work, even on these days with few visitors. I return almost with a sense of dread: I could be facing an angry, torch-wielding mob of would-be art buyers, or an answering machine filled with accusatory messages. Instead, nothing. Nobody had slid any money beneath the front door either. So... today I'm going out again, on a different sailboat. Let me know if you need crew; I've finally figured out what 'starboard' means.
