“When I’m on the boat I feel all young and happy and light and fancy and gay and spritely. And when I get home I can hardly move. Everything is sore and stiff.“–Milly McCoy of SV Mary Joy, in an email to Schooner Mahdee last night after a wonderful day of buddy boating and anchoring on the Georgiana Slough in the California Delta.

Live in the sunshine
Swim the sea
Drink the wild air

–Ralph Waldo Emerson
