Tuesday Night Duck Dodge
My neighbor with the older boat (Mr opera/whistler) has his boat out for the first time in the evening. So far, he's only taken short trips. Well, it's Tuesday night and I'm at my desk and I find that I can see the sailboats even though I'm so close to shore. There are a few motorboats and rowers out also. Makes me happy. When I first heard of the Duck Dodge, I imagined that there were little floaty ducks on the water and sailers either had to miss them or pick them up. Sounds like a good idea, right? From the living room/salon/pilot house I have a view of downtown Seattle and from the back deck I have a peek-a-boo view of the Space Needle. Life is good.

Sure sounds like Summer has finally arrived in Seattle from where you're sitting.
ReplyDeleteI seem to know even less about the Duck Dive than you but I like you're vision of little yellow plastic ducks spread on the water so there could be a contest & "toast" to which ever boat collects the most. Maybe it's been done, but what I still don't know is whether or not the "Duck Dive" is just a random, free-for-all or is there some sort of structure or competition? Whatever...it looks like fun for the sailors & those watching. Enjoy...as I did your blog. Thanks.
