John - the brother...

OK, Jane. You are doing pretty well with the boat-y stuff, but I do have to correct one thing, or everyone will think I have a really strange boat! Both boats have rudders. Mine is steered with a tiller, and Ibis is steered with a wheel.
Other than that you described my ineptitude perfectly well. What are sisters for, eh?

Hi Tom!Between Jane and Janet, the berries got washed and sugared, and were served with everything for two more days. Fruit salad. Cereal. Yum. Oh, and I think it was more like five pints, but who's counting.

Two things to know here, folks. First, Captain Al's version of the hike was to start where he picked us up, and to return the same way. As he said, about an hour and a half of hiking for most people (not me). Second, the long way around t
hat we went took five (or more) hours only because it included someone who is unlike most people... me.

Gumby and Pokey are on our kitchen counter. I even kept them away from the sink because they would (sink)

Enjoying your sailing adventure -- wet dinghy ridges, heavy chop, grabbing mooring buoys --brings back lots of memories ...

Why aren't Gumby and Pokey wearing life vests? Inspector Safety wants to know! :)

Yup - this looks familiar. My first husband, Brian, was a sailor. His family had a 27" sailboat in California on which we spent many days sailing, some with the railing under water. The roughest water was when Brian and I concluded a we
ek with friends on a rented 36" sloop sailing to/from Catalina and had to get the boat back to Long Beach from Newport. The dinghy was airborne and the Coast Guard helicopter kept checking on us (we forgot to turn on the radio, if they were trying to contact us). Been there; done that; don't want to do again.
