sentinel point

"anything for a quiet life; as the man said when he took the situation at the lighthouse." -- charles dickens

training for next month's race can be a bit grueling and involves quite a bit of solitude.  yesterday's round trip of red rock lake was about 25 miles and i managed to drop almost an hour from my last attempt with only a stop at the marina for a very short break.  overcast skies became today's rain which was welcomed by my parched lawn.  my new boat this year was a zero-turn mower which is easier to control than a rudderless craft with quartering winds.  life lately always seems to be a bit quartering as well so i'm getting used to correcting for outside forces.
