Spring forward…please

I’m trying to temper it but Spring Fever has grabbed me by the deck shoes and got me half way out the door to the boat.  This longing has been going on for a bit but came to a head last weekend when I went down ostensibly to check my tarp but then stood on the dock watching the ice melt in the sun.

Serious Fun at the St. Maarten Heineken Regatta

By Allegra Smith-Herriott
