RE: [Cal_Boats] Season Over (David Dobbs)

It was a light season. We only got out three times. Great sails each, but only three makes it difficult to put her away. As of Wednesday, we were still in the water and planned on going for a sail. I figured we'd un-step this weekend then run down the river. Wednesday morning, the 7-day forecast changed and I thought that was the last best day to make the river run. Sure glad we did...
