3 Days and counting




This is Daddys Idea of sailing,

So do you blame Kyla for not wanting to come topside, She kept saying that she wanted to go back to the Yatch club.
So we finely talked her into coming topside! Daddy actually got her to steer the boat*** under some protest but she still got the job done. Check out the 2 videos they are hilarious !!!!!

MICKEY MOUSE*** A look back


Here's a look back at a few pics from our family scrap book of Kyla at Disney World in Florida.
I believe she was about 12 in all but one of these pics, in the last pic I think she is around 6 or 7.
You see we are preparing to take her to Disneyland in California on tuesday.
She has been counting the days down for about 2 months.
She has been DRIVING US CRAZY!!! she has a card with the number of days written on it and she erases one number every day as soon as she gets out of bed.

First sail of the season




We went to the boat over memorial Day weekend, Kyla helped us get all of our belongings on board and get settled. We put all the new rigging in place and proceeded to get ready to launch.

You see it was a picture perfect day for sailing, there was not a cloud in the sky and the winds were running 10 to 15 knots and steady!!!! So we threw off all the lines but one, Jack goes to start the motor and the chock pin falls off into the water!!! JUST OUR LUCK!!!

Needless to say we didn't sail that day, But Larry a fellow sailor came to our rescue, he gerry rigged a tempary chock pin for us . It will work fine until our new part comes in.

So the next day we finely got out on the lake!!!!! It was a bit gusty and not the best sailing conditions for Kyla's first sail of the season, when it is gusty our boat heels(leans) over quickly and that freaks her out. Needless to say we just sail for about an hour and called it a day.
