All work and no play makes a very long day....

Amy gave us a send-off hug and brought some hand-personalized drink holders that she and Pat decorated with the name of our boat.  She said our old ones from 1988 needed replacing. She was right.
We have been having some fun. Our neighbors from home came aboard to see what we will call "home" for the coming months. We rowed the dinghy, had a sail on Priority, anchored for lunch and explored our little house on the water.

Julia was a natural at rowing the dinghy but she especially enjoyed climbing up and down the ladder to go in and out of the cabin.

Danny tailed the main halyard as Eric winched up the mainsail.  They were excellent crew and good rowers, too.
Rachel was a focused helmswoman and enjoyed the sailing. 
Determined to catch a fish, Ally hoisted and lowered her line in the water many times.
