My family sails, and we used to sail up the St. Lawrence to the Thousand Islands. There, we would spend two or three weeks relaxing between about five islands (of a thousand!). I remember how my mother would brew iced tea on the deck when we were at anchor- even more so, I remember when a wake would come and it would spill!

Today, I was home alone, while my parents sailed and my brother played golf. It was a lovely sunny day, for those of you in western New York. What else was there to do? I pulled out a great big pitcher and eight tea bags. An hour in the sun, and I had perfection!
The sweet, sweet summer is just two days away! ~Beth
And I was scrubbing the inside of our sailboat, Bellatrix. She is named after a star in the Orion constellation and means "female warrior." With my purple Playtex gloves, scrubby sponge, and water, I had two years of spiders to relocate and everything else to wash down.
It was water, water everywhere, but we never left the dock. ~ Paloma
