Typical Work Day

This is what a typical work day looks like now. Retired. Or as the British say: made redundant.
The photo was taken on a sail to Block Island, Rhode Island. A nice sail in the photo but later it became a great sail as the breeze picked up. Boat speed increased to about 9 knots for a while. That's over 10 MPH for lubbers. Fast.
While zipping along Carol wondered whether we were going too fast. I replied, "in a catamaran there is no such thing as too fast". Shortly thereafter a wave caught the dinghy and it flipped on its side as it hung in the davits. A lot of drag and stress on it as it was catching the seas as we sailed.
End of fast sail.
We had to stop to right it and bail the ocean out of it. When we got organized again it was back to a normal sail to Block.
Another adventure. Sigh. :>/
