Today the gray clouds blow over us here in Drayton Harbor, reminding us that Fall is close at hand. On our boat, we are also reminded that the academic year is about to start. While we may no longer be headed out for longer cruises, there are still things to be done aboard, and joys to be had in this end of the season - even as we are found just messing about in boats.
With all of that in mind, here is a familiar quote, celebrating the joys of this past summer, and the puttering of the fall and winter ahead. For while we may not do anything in particular, we may find we have revitalized ourselves, and given a chance for our souls to grow and flourish.
Peace and Blessings

"Believe me my young friend,” said the Water Rat solemnly, “there is nothing, absolutely nothing, half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats – simply messing. Nothing seems really to matter – that’s the charm of it. Whether you get away or whether you don’t, whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach somewhere else or whether you never get anywhere at all, you’re always busy and you never do anything in particular.”
~ Kenneth Grahame
