Type of watercraft:
Sail
Plan was to get a couple things done on the boat and then go for a short, evening sail. But out on the river, it was gusting 25 kn and frankly, I just didn't have the heart for it.
So we had a picnic on the mooring with plenty of refreshing breeze and the shade of the bimini.
A few spiders. OK, a lot of spiders. Here's my queston: where the hell do these things come from? I know they were not on the boat earlier this year. Do they come in on the breeze? Maybe egg cases get blown from the trees and they get hatched on the boat?
Also: two people and a lot of stuff loaded into the dinghy make for an interesting ride in 15-20 kn headwinds. But no real issues.
