For the love of sailing

Well we finally got Happy Jack out on the boat!! Well actually it was his new girl friend Shaina that got him out here! Isn't it amazing the influence that a girl can have on a young man!! I'm beginning to really like this girl!! Good job Shaina!!!
This is a pic of Jack & Shaina out on the bow of our boat, we were about 3 miles out on the big lake (lake Michigan) the winds were steady at about 8 to 10 knots.



Sailing can be just as quiet and peaceful as this picture, well that's the ideal day of sailing we all hope for. As most of you know we have only been sailing for 2 seasons on our own, so some time I will tell you some of our horror stories.
Please don't hold our stories against us if we invite you on the boat! we do manage to make it back safe and sound every time!!!! It's just that some days are more eventful than others.








This is what we saw when we first left the Muskegon channel, It is a laser class sailing regatta.
Kyla even enjoyed the day out on the big lake. Usually she is ready to come in as soon as we hoist the sails, and the boat starts to heel a bit. In this pic we are just coming into the channel, you can see the light house and a few more sail boats in the back ground.


I'm taking a pic of Shaina,taking a pic of Jack who is on the bow of the boat being silly...........................NEXT PIC PLEASE.............................


ENOUGH SAID !!!!
