Summer Solstice

I spent mine watching my son in sailing lessons.

While a great blue heron ('Perry') watched on and waited for handouts from fellow fishermen.


And a lost blue parakeet evaded my outstretched hands - I hope he finds his way back home.

Turns out we hit the darkest June day record which made for a very cold swim test (including capsizing and righting the boat).

My son and a buddy shivered in towels...


and were captured by a photographer from the Seattle Times...

They made it on the front page article featuring our Pacific NW weather guru: Cliff Mass!
