Grant's first sail - July 7, 2013

So it feels very wrong to be writing this after Grant has turned 3.  Mom and Dad's first Catalina was delivered the week of my 1st birthday, just a few years ago.  Pretty much from that point forward we spent weekends on the water.  Fast forward to the last 4 years and well, life has changed a bit.  So here I am in July 2013 writing about Grant's first trip aboard Harmony.  All in all he was pretty good with it.  The wind picked up a bit after lunch and he was ready for us to put the sails away.  This also coincided with his typical nap time at home, so take it for what it is worth.

 and we're off!

 Grant's a natural, don't you think?

 Looking for bubbles

 The sails are pretty big!

 The boys took the helm for a bit.  Grant steered staring at the floor while Adam attempted to watch where we were headed.  Grant may take after his mom....

 Watching the water go by...fast!

 Pretending the lines are hoses to squirt us with

 Of course there was a bit of singing...

 Putting him to work.  Notice that we still can't travel without a bulldozer.

 or jets...

 Adam is still a good sailor.  He was glad he brought an activity book to work on after lunch.

 Swimming while Daddy fixed sandwiches.

 Lunchtime!

 Headed back to the marina

a little cheese or maybe more singing...
