Oh, gosh, I need about a week of really crummy weather to catch up here! I was, as I mentioned, holding back to keep the City of Water Day post on top (that event went very nicely and at least one person came due to my social media efforts - always fun to meet somebody you've been Facebook friends with for a long time!), but now I'm feeling seriously backlogged (backblogged?). I have unshared pix going back 3 weekends now, eek, and we've got the insanely photogenic annual Orient Point trip coming up next weekend!
July 4th weekend was fantastic; there was the fireworks party at Victoria and Steve's - I shared my best fireworks pictures but I was going to do an Empire State Building selection too, with those new LED lights they put on quite a show - here's one:
And then I spent both Saturday and Sunday at the club. Saturday I sort of accidentally-on-purpose "forgot" my camera, thinking of all the backlog from the weekend before - but we had a lovely club paddle to Spring Creek, where we got deeper into the marsh than I think I've been before, followed by hot dogs and burgers and wine (oh my) back at the club. Lovely day out there - a little on the breezy side, with the wind against us on the homeward-bound leg, but that just made the burgers taste that much better.
Sunday was the 2nd Sailing Committee cruise of the 2014 season and for that, I did bring my camera. I love this old boat on Ruffle Bar, I always feel like I could post it and claim that it's somewhere in the Caribbean - although in this shot if a person looks closely there's a dead giveaway (click on the photo for a detail view).

Isn't it great to be so busy enjoying yourself! I tend to run about 5 weeks late with things at the moment, I threaten to stop doing anything until I've caught up on life, but somehow end up going for yet another paddle instead!
I was cracking up a couple of weeks ago - I announced on Facebook that I was THRILLED to have a weekend day with nothing scheduled -- and all of my friends started suggesting Things For Me To Do! Summer gets so busy, the occasional day where I don't have to be anywhere or do anything all day is just HEAVENLY.
Actually the 4th of July itself brought some nice down-time, I had the party in the evening but it was a sort of drizzly day, just perfect for sleeping in and doing odds and ends around the house. That was VERY nice.
A friend who understood the joy of the free day explained to my eager beaver buddies, "having nothing to do and doing nothing are very different things".
I understand completely how you feel. There's sometimes nothing better than a "sneaky" quiet day!
I have a falling behind. I need more exercise. :)
Beautiful pics in the Flickr album. Such a neat place to sail to. Good fun.
