Untitled #149 /

“Freeze your nuts off” What a gray, gray day at Lake Norman the worst weekend for a first regatta our sloops were plastic toy boats in a toddler’s bathwater and we the hapless Lego men the November wind screamed through my windbreaker, which could not keep my quivering body warm enough after three times out wrestling with the lake the lake! It was the Maelstrom to my novice hands! and I caught a monstrous cold, nearly vomiting from the richness of the air in the Starbucks, and four hours of carsickness on the drive back to Knoxville Ah, but I would not trade that day for a weekend at home!
