A Memory Bite...

[anigo]

Bob Marley is ALWAYS played apres racing during Race Week. Always. I just popped it in for something different to listen to and I am hit with (excuse the pun) a wave of memories. Of the August sun, how rich and golden it is. About being tired and happy, drink in hand. About how the weather is threatening to feel fall-ish, but is trying it's hardest to give one good blast of summer. How the deck of the boat feels warm under bare feet, but cools off as the night progresses. How the water is the warmest it will be all year. The bittersweet knowledge that this is the last big regatta of the year, that fall will be right around the corner.

Funny how I'm thinking about the end of the season when the start of the season is right around the corner.
