A christening is announced

A good friend just acquired a used, 32 foot sailboat, and we went to its moorage for a celebration. She and a crew of hearty fellows had brought it down the Sound in a snowstorm a couple of weeks ago, and it was the first time for some of us to take a look at it. The interior is in wonderful shape, warm-looking wood; the air wasn't so warm, although by the time we left, our bodies and the little electric heater had generated enough heat to get it up to the low fifties. Windy cold night, as we walked to and from the dock along the marina; it made the Italian food we had later that much tastier.
