Father’s Day
I had a great Father’s Day yesterday. It was a perfect day. Nice breeze. Relatively calm water, but not flat. Chris and I took Emma out on the lake. He put the Opti on his Whaler and I sailed the Sunfish out. I gave Emma a ride on the Sunfish, and she wasn’t to keen on it. It’s been a long time since I’ve sailed a dinghy, and I felt like I was all arms and legs on it. Not the smoothest sail she could have had, but not too bad. She thought being on Grace was more fun. If I take her out again any time soon, I need to figure out how to tack without us bumping into each other. After that we tied the Sunfish up to the whaler, and played around in the lake. We had the Opti in the water, and she kept getting in, and we would push her away. She would steer going backwards, and when she ran out of line, she would climb out, and swim back to the whaler, and then want to do it all over again. After a while Emma and I got in the opti, and Chris towed us around with the whaler. She had a great time trying to steer the opti behind him. Figuring out how to work the tiller. Chris took some pictures, and when I get copies of them I will post them.
After playing in the lake we went to Southern to play in the pool, and have some lunch. Pearce and his clan were there. It couldn’t have been a better day.
