I have always loved getting up before everyone else in the family. I enjoy the stillness of the morning, and sipping a strong cup of coffee in quietness. I truly relish this time, now with several new additions. Even before starting the coffee, I open the top part of our back hatch, and greet the day. Each morning when I awake, mother nature’s greets me in her own unique way, cool and damp, overcast and humid, clear and warm, or just plain breezy. While the coffee is brewing, I head to the pilot house and check the barometer, wind direction and speed. Then with coffee in hand, it’s off to the fly bridge to watch the sunrise over the Chesapeake and a new day begins. Even living in the beauty and bounty of Boulder I have never felt this close to nature. I am so happy……
