The Morlock recently purchased a sailing yacht, of which I am the official tow vehicle. As such, Lisa and I are included on Morlock boat outings. My initial 15 minute cruise past sugar island during the purchase was epic, but short. Today we entertained everyone at Kensington by launching a sailboat in 50 degree weather, and learning the pleasure of launching/retrieving said boat in high wind. Fortunately the Morlock paid attention in sailing school and knew how to rig up the boat properly, and after some fighting with the engine our adventure began. While visions of the keel hitting bottom and the boat exploding into flames plagued me for the first 15 minutes, the cool sound of Christopher Cross soothed me into a more relaxed mood and I was able to play Leonardo DiCaprio at the front of the boat. Aside from some horrendous swaying above 50mph, the tow was uneventful.
