Sitting out a short shower

Date: Oct 5, 2019
Weather: Sunny, then a rainstorm, which cleared up fast 
Waters: Our usual spot north of the SAF firing zone, off western Singapore
On board: C, A, J1, J2, R and Pudding   

This was an outing best told in pictures, since we didn't do anything out of the ordinary. There were all good intentions to be at the marina by 11am, but as usual, a few of us were slugs about getting out of bed. Toss in a topping up of the tank, and it turned out that we couldn't leave the marina till about 1pm. 

Pudds tries to wrap his head around the concept of
sunscreen, which J2 applied as we pulled out of the marina. 

The baby needed a bit of calming. 

Beer in one hand and wine in the other. 'Nuff said.

A has chosen this as her Shot of the Day. 

The doggo creates work with his presence. First he wants to be
where R is on the top deck. He's carried up because he can't "do"
that step ladder. Then he wants to come down, and
dog daddy J1 has to carry him down to the main deck...

Then the grey clouds gathered. The storm light was strangely beautiful. 

The family retreated below deck during the short but fierce shower. The waters outside stayed relatively calm. It's a source of fascination for A that the boat's capacity is listed as 12 people, but it already feels crowded with just the five of us plus Pudding. There is talk about getting a bigger boat, the Searay Sundancer 290, the next model up from what we have, the 260.

But we are just kidding, right? RIGHT? It's not like we own a mint.  

Post rain. It's near end of the day. Such calm.

We got out on the deck again after the rain. 

Back on terra firma. We suspect the dog is glad.
