Day 338, Monday May 26th

Day 338, Monday May 26
Cole, Brad and Alex




Alex enjoying the whole boat
Back on our heads....cleaning, packing, waxing, staining,......   By 2:00 we are tired but looking forward to taking the Sitler’s out for a sail.  Just off their house the Severn River widens sufficiently to have a little sail around.  By 3:00 we are off, with our youngest sailor yet, Cole, and a possible replacement for Julie, Alexandra.  Alexandra is quite taken with handling the wheel.  Sadly she can’t see over the coach house to know where to steer. 

Will Julie be replaced with Admiral Alex?
The winds were very light which was perfect cause you realize the kids have no handholds.  They can’t reach the high stuff and are too short to brace themselves with their legs.  Lucky it was light winds.  At first we thought we did not have enough, but it was fabulous.  It was one of the few sails we undertook just for sailing sake.  Normally it is always to “get somewhere”, versus just to enjoy.  Before we knew it , it was 5:30 so we  headed in as we had a pizza night planned.  Brad, Cole and Dawson headed off in their convertible for the pickup, while Alexandra, Laura and Julie organized from the inside.  After pizza we enjoyed a homemade peach pie made by Laura.  It was wonderful, her first pie! 
Julie blogging at the Sitler's

We did not stay late as the Sitler’s had to go to work the next day so we headed down to the dock and called it a night.

Cheers

Julie and Dawson
