Lazy Days of summer
We're just hanging out relaxing, and getting really sleepy. We need a strong breeze to get our blood going. Been some pretty slow sailing so far. We have had some spectacular sunsets though. Things are pretty quiet at the marina. That's good for us, bad for business. Been wondering about how my batteries will hold out overnight with the fridge running. I should probably test this before actually hanging on a hook. Don't want my Popsicles to melt.
Yesterday we sailed out past the bluffs again, then drifted back, then caught a 10 knot breeze to close haul it back in. Alert handled very nice upwind. We got 4.5 knots out of 9, knot bad :) It was tough to keep our eyes open while drifting. Deb managed to nod off, while I just closed my eyes a few times. It's called geezer sailing. Go out and take a nap. Good thing we don't do this in a car.

Robin - Fire Goddess
My sister the firebug, thinks gasoline is a good starter. Patience is not one of her virtues. Thankfully she is fine, and not in a burn unit right now. Just has no eyebrows, which I just have to see. I posted some videos of other people she can relate to. Love ya Bird :)

Family+1
Together again, on a boat. This time there was no whining, no "when are we going back", "I'm too hot", "I'm too cold", blah blah blah. We had a beautiful sail, on a great day, reaching out to the bluffs and back. Could not have wished for a better day. It was great to have Kell and Nic on board. We even allowed Eric the surfer dude to come along.
Nic got a break from the Indiana heat, to ride the cool waters of Lake Ontario. It was great to see her again after all this time. Quite a change from the last time we were all together on a boat. My girls are growing up. Now that they're working stiffs, they appreciate the quiet moments on the water, relaxing, and enjoying themselves.
Life was good this weekend, because I had all my babes on board.
We're going to finish off another week at the barge. Hopefully we'll get some sailing in between all the thunderstorms predicted. A mini- cruise might be in order.
This video was made for Carol (my favorite mother-in-law). Don't worry Mom, we'll give you plenty of advance notice before we shove off :)
