Hello and welcome to the Yarniaks podcast.

This is episode number 187, which we are recording on Wednesday, February 27th, 2019.

I'm Gail.

And I'm Shirley.

And we're on location today at the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor where it is overcast but very, very bright out.

It's very bright. I had to switch to my sunglasses because it's so bright today. Everybody that's even the slightest bit north of us is experiencing torrential downpour and flooding,

especially in the Guernville, Sonoma, Santa Rosa area.

And we are further south and have not even had an inch of rain.

Yeah, it basically went around us. Yes.

Completely. We were talking about that last night, how we somehow were in the eye of the storm and it all just moved right around us.

Yeah. So we have lots of clouds, but no rain. And we're watching, there was a kingfisher on one of the boats right out in front of us, but I think it has flown away.

It has. I looked up and he was there and then I looked away and he was gone.

Hopefully he'll come back because he was very entertaining.

He was fun to watch, yes.

All right, so what are you wearing?

I am wearing my dragonflies jumper, which is a pattern by Hoi Locatelli. I knit this back in November of 2012.

So my sweater is six years old. And in these six years, it has had lots of wear. In fact, as I look down at the sleeves, I realized that I guess I need to do a little

depilling on this because it does have quite a few little pills gathered under the arms,

where the arms touch the body and on the wrists.

So high friction points.

Yes, exactly.

So it could use a good depilling time to take out the gleaner, I think.
