Not-So-Gray May

 This May has been unseasonably warm and sunny, perhaps redemption for last year's lack of summer. A couple weeks ago, I got my new waterproof camera and Ben, Lola and I rode our bikes (well, ok, we didn't make Lola pedal the whole way) to Ocean Beach. This is a colorful shot of the usually barren and dehydrated San Diego River.

In addition to bestowing life upon the river, the winter rains also speckled our white propane tank in shades of rust. Ben refilled the tank the other day and coated it with Rustoleum to prevent further deterioration.

Hopefully, we'll not only find the time to scratch a couple more small boat projects off our "To Do" list this summer, but we'll also get some much-needed time on the water practicing our skills.
