On more than one occasion, the weather changed almost instantly, and our sailors were forced to see refuge at a neighbor's dock for safety sake. Neighbors who are boaters make great neighbors. One of my Dad's favorite sayings was "Be alert for a weather change". How true.
I remember when the kids went to Libby in the canoes.
