It’s a toss up this morning. Take it as you see it. Crazy late afternoon float with so many crazy boaters last night! That was a fun, unplanned rendezvous with a bunch of peeps. And we got off the Riv at dark, and they were still coming down. Heck, they were still beached at Pine View as we drove home, at dusk! Great fun. Happy Summer Solstice to all. We all eked out every last minute of the longest day of the year!!!
Currently 70˚F, sunny and calm.
