One open water piece a day

Yesterday was my best friend's birthday, so I joined him and a few other friends on Lake Washington for a day of sailing.

We started out from the Center for Wooden Boats in Lake Union, motored out through the cut, and raised sail in Lake Washington not far from the new bridge construction that will double the size of the highway 520 floating bridge.

There wasn't much wind, so we spent our time relaxing, nibbling on cheese and salmon, knocking back some beers, and I spent a good amount of time in the lake indulging my love of open water swimming.

At the end of the day, nearly back to the dock, I spotted a floating object that was not supposed to there

Can you see it?

I whipped off my shirt and sprang into action, determined to bring the fugitive beer can to justice.

In a very short time, I succeeded in removing the offending item, and once again the cool waters of Lake Union were pristine. Once docked, I deposited the can in the nearest recycle bin.
