Armchair Traveller

My Weekender Chair takes me on a journey into the past. We're cruising Lake Winnepesaukee in a 1928 Chris Craft Cadet named "Morning Star".
An aluminum Coleman cooler holds egg salad sandwiches on Sunbeam bread, homemade limeade and plenty of ice. There's an small island with a sand beach and a rustic cabin hidden back in the pines. We power down the big Merc engine and simply drift. All is well with the world on this morning in this place, and as the late morning sun plays across the polished mahogany decking and stainless steel fittings, a light breeze stirs and carries us home again.
