We weren't sure what to expect, our first and last attempt at sailing with the family in the ocean started with Laney screaming over and over, “I want to go back, I want to go back,” and ended with the whole family “losing their cookies” so to speak. That was 4 years ago, and right after we bought our boat-- not a great time to discover we all get sea sick. But the lake was different, and it's gotten better through the years. I was a bit nervous history might repeat itself, but thankfully it didn't. Everyone was fine. At least now we are smart enough to keep our heads up and stay out of the cabin.
Saturday was a little narly, a couple of rogue waves brought a bit too much vertical action for my taste, (we didn't take the kids out that day), but Monday and Tuesday were beautiful and calm-- I am proud of Laney, she “got back on the horse” and truly enjoyed herself. When I think of our boat out on the ocean, I can hear it singing the words from Annie “I think I'm going to like it here.....”
Now,..... what to do with that big space on the side of our yard? Any suggestions?
Now that it's hobnobbing in Cali, I think our boat needs a name.
So far it's unofficially been:
"Very Small Rock" (any Monty Python fans out there?)
although funny, I haven't been able to commit...
Ideas???
What I like to see, nothing but blue horizon stretched in front of us...
Although, I admit, I still am comforted at the sight of land behind us. Someday, I'll be able to let that go--- maybe.
"King Triton must be in a friendly type mood"
You know, when JJ first suggested we get a sailboat, I thought he was crazy...
Now, I'm glad he's a little crazy!
I think it should be" Waiting in the Wind" or something with wind??? "Living in the Wind"??? It looks so relaxing out on the water:-) You know Deb lives right there in Oceanside??
