Calm, Gale, Rain, Hail

Last weekend, the Eugene Yacht Club hosted it's annual Memorial Day Regatta. Summer still has not yet come to Oregon. Cold, winter rains prevail. Over the weekend, racing conditions were very challenging. Winds came from every quadrant. Each weather cell brought it's own calm before the storm.

While we were getting soaked and freezing, the dogs were home - warm and dry, gnawing their new marrow bones.
