I have had a feeling that during May I somehow got a bit overwhelmed by everything, and many of my seasonal routines have been lagging behind. But today I took the boat into the lake to soak, so that the wood will swell, closing all the tiny gaps which had appeared during the winter storage when the wood dries and shrinks. This is something I'd usually do early in May. Well, it isn't such a problem, just looking forward to all the refreshing rowing trips of this summer.
