This holiday ranks high on my list. For the Northern Hemisphere, this day signals the official start of the Summer season. Depending on your boating enthusiasm, your boat might be in the water and the first lick of spray curling over the bow. I'm going to keep this short because you shouldn't be looking at a computer screen on a day like this . . . boat or not, wander down to the coastline and soak in those sun-dappled waters, eat a cheeseburger, bury a beer or two.
And because I can't resist, one maritime law comment. Some of you may be feeling particularly patriotic today. Maybe the high-pitched shouts of enthusiasm from your child will have you steering close to a warship which makes it important you remember that, typically, a boat is prohibited from approaching within 100 yards of a naval vessel. Violate a "Naval Protection Zone" and there's some serious consequences including jail time and six-figure fines!
Underway and making way.
