For the second time, I painted on a boat. Last week, Kate and I took our summer vacation in Steamboat Springs, CO. We met her parents up there and one day rented a pontoon boat. We rented it at the Steamboat Lake State Park, which is a great deal and Kate had to make the reservation well in advance of our trip. I sat at the helm and painted away while Kate's dad Bill maneuvered the boat so that I somewhat kept the view. Kate and her mom Judy grilled brats and we all enjoyed a day in the sun at 70 degrees.
That is, until the storm clouds came up. At that point, I finished up quickly and we headed back to shore about 45 minutes before our rental time was up. The weather in Colorado this time of year is mostly perfect. Around 70 degrees during the day, zero humidity, and cool nights. The only problem is that you have to dodge storms most every afternoon. More on this later.
