Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale....

So our friends Dave and Brenda won a "sailing trip" from a silent auction and invited us to join them. Brenda and I had a luxury sailboat in mind. We invisioned a lovely sunset cruise, casually drinking wine and enjoying each other's company, while we were driven around by a captain (do you even "drive" a sailboat?). We got to Lake Mendota, and Brenda's comment was, "I didn't pay for THAT." Oh yes you did, and what a FUN time we had! We did have a knowledgeable captain who wanted us to learn how to sail a bit. Which we did, only after stumbling onto our boat, and getting nervous a few times about tipping over.

Here was our cruiser. Please notice the sky. After the raindrops in the beginning, it did clear.
The sailpeople. It got a little hairy as we were pulling into the pier. A lot of things had to happen at once. Dave and Ted were very busy and all Brenda and I could do was laugh.

After our cruise, we enjoyed some time at the union. Here's that famous chair again.
THANKS CRAKERS! FUN TIMES!!!
