It's hard to believe that winter is official over (at least in California). Our ski mountain has shut down, there is no snow around the house, and people are actually sunning themselves around the lake. Very hard to believe that it's just the end of April. Though it was a bad winter at home, with all my travel I managed to make the most of it and came out with a pretty stellar season, with about 45 days on snow, 32 of them full on powder days. Although it's sad that we had such a dismal winter in Tahoe, the prospect of an extended summer is definitely exciting as it's by far the best season in Tahoe.
With temps in the high 70's I took the pup for some nice t-shirt and shorts clad walks, got all the deck furniture out and was able to spend Sunday on the Yuba with my dad, getting his new boat wet. It was in the low 90's that day and it definitely felt more like peak-summer than early spring. Boat rowed amazingly well, and we weren't able to pass a single person without them commenting on the rig. It really is more of a piece of art than a fishing boat. I'm definitely looking forward to spending some time on it this summer and fall.
To keep the nautical theme, I headed down to SF to catch up with dave to pitch in for an evening sail. Light winds, with warm temps on the bay made for a relaxing evening.

| Quite a pretty boat, indeed |
 |
| Spent a little time in the fishing seat, but dad was the winner with two fish for the day |
 |
| No shortage of chores to do around the house to clean 'er up for Summer |

| Shirley Canyon waterfall – snow is definitely melting into the creeks early this year |
