Sailing and Whaling












By far the coolest activity we did was go sailing on Saturday. I think we gave the poor crew a lot of trouble. They seemed to be a relatively new crew, and not many of them had much experience, and here we come with twice as many kids as adults, most of which were under the age of 8. But we had no accidents. We were trying to spot the hump-backed whale, so Mom spent a lot of the trip perched out on the bow with two cameras strapped around her neck. I wasn't brave enough to climb up to the crow's nest (My excuse being that climbing a rope ladder with nothing but water underneath you is relatively hard with only one working hand), but I did spend the last bit of the trip out on the bow. It was fantastic. Katie even got over her fear of water enough to enjoy herself. I am so glad Jenny was able to give us this amazing opportunity.

Thankfully Katie had a very patient Grandpa to hold her most of the trip. When I get back from vacation I will send you a CD with my pictures. Thanks for getting me yours so quickly. Emily wrote you a letter about not forgetting to get her a new necklace. I haven't mailed it yet though, maybe I'll send them both together.
