This past weekend we were blessed with a beautiful sailing day to take our friends out for their first time on our boat. This wonderful family were our neighbours at the log house and we are so grateful for their friendship and the only thing we miss about living in the log house is not being close to them anymore, the kids were so excited to spend a whole afternoon on the water with their friends.
On our way out of the harbour, there was no wind at all and we took a small detour to pull up the crab pot we had out soaking, unfortunately not a single crab, so we tossed it back.
Mac and his best buddy playing pirates on the high seas.
There is nothing like boys imaginations on a boat.
Unfortunately we had two overboard retrievals this trip but thankfully nothing living this time.
Mark in the dinghy after a blown overboard baby hat.
Everyone watching the retrieval, Mac jumped right into his role of pointing the direction of the lost item with the broom.
We had picked up some wind just after lunch and were cruising at a pretty decent speed and it took a while for Mark to catch back up with us, we didn't drop sail but turned farther off the wind to slow from 5 knots to 1.
Soon we were overrun with buccaneers. We had a total of eight kids onboard and they were all awesome, a great bunch!
Notice the dog tied up, she wasn't impressed and spent the majority of the trip whining, but after her escape attempt last time there was no trusting her now.

Every boat should have one of these... Mark doesn't agree.
The pirates lashing their prisoner to the mast to await their punishment of walking the plank.
We had a great day out with good friends and a beautiful day on the water, this is what boat living is all about, I'm lovin' it.
(MacDonalds anyone?)
