Vol XVI – #094 – Surfer’s Delight

  If it wasn’t for the coolness of the morning, you could believe you were in Hawaii looking out at the surf.  Sweatshirt weather, never the less a beautiful first day of July.  A challenging day for sailors on Big Blue.  Sunny, mid 70’s with possible weather system moving through on Thursday which means a great 4th of July celebration.
