Luck Runs in Threes

We’ve had our run of poor timing with the elements. First, we plan to take Bob, Annie and their friend Debbie on a gentle afternoon sail. That afternoon, the wind howls and whitecaps are plainly visible so we cancel. Then, the day that we plan to transport all of the provisions to Liberator, a high-surf advisory is issued. The swell makes moving the stuff without soaking it, a challenge and we finish half the job. Finally, it’s time to return to sailing, so the kids enjoy a last sleepover with the Grandparents. Our final stroke of bad timing occurs when Tom is picking up the kids from their sleepover. A random squall strikes and for the 10 minutes that he is going back and forth, the sky is dark with sheets of rain. Of course, it’s the only shower of the entire day. It’s laughable, but I am learning that when the weather is good its best to take advantage.
