SAILING!! (august 27 2006)

Well many hours of engine work later just to get us out of the bloody slip -- we finally got in a nice day of sailing! Many thanks to all of our friends who helped with the many projects needed to get this beast underway.
Here are photos from our day out. about 15 knots of wind. Boat was avergaing 9.5 knots. - yaa-ha! Zach was laughing and cheering the whole time and we were thrilled that he was having so much fun and was so independent while underway.
We did have a jib car explode and Shannon got mangled by a whipping jib sheet. But overall we had loads of fun!
We were out with Will, Baby Jett and his mama Jaclyn and dada Shannon.

FUN on the FARM!

Zach decided that he wanted to see a "real farm". Well, we found as close as we can get around here... a nice local petting farm. He was in heaven.

Sundowner

After a week in the boatyard and lots of hours with the diesel mechanic - Doug and I were very pre-occupied fretting over the smoking and water-spewing starboard engine. When we pulled our heads out of the fumes and muck, we found Zach with his chair set up in the cockpit, sippy cup in hand, book on the ready, enjoying the sunset. He's got the cruising spirit!
