One of the reasons that I have not been posting frequently recently can be traced back to the above vista. Our section of the lab had our annual offsite at a lake about an hour from here. It turned out to be the perfect day for this kind of thing: clear and bright, not impossibly hot, and no hint of rain. That came a few days later.

While various land-based sporting activities were indulged in, and the grills brought forth various delicacies, including the garden burgers and boca burgers for the vegies like me, some people ventured onto (and into) the water. Among us we had three powerboats and an assortment of tubes, waterskis and boards.

The timid among us (which included me) made do with a lovely tour around the lake inside a boat. The more adventurous (definitely not me) did some of the kind of things you see below.

In the end, all had a good time, and went home with heads full of stats relating to the costs of boats and jetskis, new and used, and wondering where it might fit in the budget.
