Dopo un paio d'ore circa di navigazione, riusciamo anche ad andare a vela con 18/20 nodi di poppa, passa sopra le nostre teste un fronte temporalesco, in lontananza una tromba marina prende forma, ci organizziamo subito, chiudiamo le vele, rizziamo meglio il tender e la passerella appoggiata ai candelieri sul ponte, via la canna da pesca e tutti gli imbarazzi nel pozzetto, serriamo le cime addugliate sui verricelli e prepariamo le lame del tambuccio per chiudere prima che di riempire la barca di acqua salata. Siamo pronti al peggio, ma la tromba marina si dissolve... sospiro di sollievo che dura poco. Infatti un'altra è in formazione proprio davanti a noi, stavolta anche più grande, noi siamo già pronti, penso di accelerare la velocità della barca per avere una inerzia maggiore, e prevalere con l'impatto della tromba marina in modo da uscirne dall'altra parte più velocemente possibile! Tremila giri, quasi otto nodi di velocità e lei è davanti a noi a meno di mille metri!! Cambio ancora rotta, ma sembra che ovunque metta la prua, lei riesca a starci davanti, adesso è leggermente a dritta avanza verso terra e l'angolo con la nostra rotta non cambia, siamo in rotta di collisione! Stiamo solo aspettando, secondi!! Ma se è vero che ognuno di noi ha un angelo custode, il mio è intervenuto anche stavolta, a meno di 500 metri si dissolve, sembra sollevarsi verso l'alto come se fosse un genio della lampada che torna all'interno della sua casa, stavolta verso l'alto però! Paura o timore di far danni? Tutto passato.

Steve turned off the tractor for an afternoon to talk about building the very first pair of Kindred skis. Steve is a skilled storyteller. He seems to know exactly when to pause, when to exaggerate, and exactly when to tell a joke. This ability to draw people in and make them laugh is especially useful in the hospitality industry. You see, Steve and his wife Carolyn run Two Eagles Lodge Bed and Breakfast just South of us in Union Bay. Like many home-based-businesses owners, this couple does it all. Carolyn masterfully orchestrates the business and is logistics manager of the steady rotation of guests while Steve is maintenance man and groundskeeper. When it comes to guest experiences this is where Steve’s hospitable nature and gift for storytelling shines. Who doesn’t want a host who keeps the mood light, and primes you for making memories by recalling his own adventures? If you need more proof of what us locals already know: that you’d be wise to stay at Two Eagles (once things get back to normal...) check out the miles-long list of accolades on their website. From fresh eggs at breakfast, to sharing local’s knowledge about places to explore, to evenings spent on the ocean-view porch around a crackling fire punctuated by Steve’s stories - these guys make their guests feel truly at home, and have awards to prove it. We’re really thankful for the support Steve has shown our business, from commissioning that first pair of skis to volunteering his time and equipment to help us move our workshop twice over the past 10 years! We're fortunate to have him skiing around on his Kindreds knowing he tells their story - with grinning enthusiasm - to anyone who asks.
