Tonight Scott brought two of his best friends out for a dudes night on the boat. These guys have been friends for many many years, and have helped each other through many highlights and difficult challenges in life. They’ve also done a lot of really funny, really crazy, and really entertaining things together. These are the friendships high school memories are made from. And with just one year til they graduate, these guys are making the most of the time they have. And a catalina 270 cockpit seems like the perfect place for this kind of fun.
We sailed for a couple hours, enjoying the great weather and fair wind. The guys talked about all kinds of big plans and nonsense, the way all guys do. And the nonsense is just as important as the big plans. And often, they’re the same thing.
After the sun set, we turned and headed back to the marina. Once secured at the slip we put the boom cover on and tidied things up, then the boys went below to spend the rest of the evening laughing, joking, and playing games. In the background you can see the bug screen that snaps in place over the hatches to keep the air flowing and bugs out.
