Guests aboard

With a cool spring, vacations, and various family responsibilities, we haven't had many guests aboard this season.  With only a few weeks left to the season, it was time to remedy that.

Saul and Simona, friends of Ed's from work, came for a sail on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.  There was a pretty brisk breeze, but our first-time sailors did well.  Maybe we've even convinced them to take up sailing.

A few days later, Marysia, Lucie and Alienor came out for a sail after work.  Alienor was here visiting from France for a few weeks.  She was staying with Jack & Chrissy, and although they couldn't come sailing with Alienor, they came out a few days later with Jacob and Lilah.  


The kids were pretty excited, but with no wind, it turned into a motor around the island.  "Captain Ed" helped the mini-captains stay focused for their turns at the wheel.  It's hard to concentrate when you have to choose between steering and having snacks :-)
