Sailing, Sailing, Sailing the "Ocean" blue

One of the must do's at the cottage is to make a voyage on Shadowfax. Now it is always an adventure, as usually what happens is that we make the 45 minute drive out to Northern Harbour where the sailboat is moored, get out of the dock, motor out into open water, and then the wind dies. Never fails. This time was a little different...we got out into the open, and the wind stayed. We got to sail. It wasn't the have your heart drop out of your chest, brace yourself on anything stable, the boat is tipping at an outrageous angle and the water is coming up over the edge kind of wind....okay, that's me doing the description, if David was in charge of this post he would have described it as perfect, and fun, and awesome. There is the difference between someone who did not grow up on the boat and someone who did. Anyway, seems to be that Jacob has definitely inherited the love of the boat and Sophia likes to stay inside. It was fun anyway...















This is Sophia trying really hard to hang her feet over the edge so that she could dangle her feet in the water. For once her legs weren't long enough.




Success!! It was precarious to say the least.



Ummm...no fear?
