Cold day on the Boat

It was sunny yesterday but breezy and maybe 70 degrees when we went out on the boat. Ryan was the only "brave" one to venture into the very choppy water. He wakeboarded for a solid 10 or 15 minutes anyhow - his first time out this season.

The river has cleared out of all the debris that was there the last time we were out - about 2 1/2 weeks ago. That was nice to see. Maybe in another month it will be warm enough for me to want to get in - ya think? I love this cool May weather, but it's not good on bare feet on the boat. My toes nearly froze yesterday - I resorted to putting them into my skiing gloves for warmth and wrapped my heels in a rag from the glove compartment. I'd only taken one towel, and Amy claimed that to wrap her bare legs in. Ryan needed his when he got out of the water. I was wishing for a blanket from the van!
We didn't stay out long. It was just toooooo cold and choppy. Better luck next time, but we had to get out since Amy is leaving Sunday and it's to be even colder tomorrow - high in the 60's! It's better weather for tennis than boating - we played one night last week and maybe can again tomorrow. They beat up on me on the courts too. Oh well. Maybe they'll have mercy on Mother's Day.

Amy is taking me out for breakfast to Cracker Barrel for Mother's Day - how nice. Maybe they'll have a fire in the fireplace!
