Sunday was Willa's Baptism.
This was a really fine moment!
Pastor Tom has said he really likes Baptisms...
Sponsors Curt and Coleen and Liz and Bob
Willa got to wear the same dress both her Mom and Grandma Liz and Greatgrampa Luther wore (he just wore the slip) when they were Baptized.

We were looking forward to this day too.

Willa was a happy girl again today

The harvest starts today....




We had Devils Island to ourselves this time except for those pesky KAYAKERS

Too windy to sail one day so went into Bayfield for a beer and some grub...
got up close to this TS in Bayfield
they were in the process of setting the sails so they could leave the dock.

What a sailing partner Liz is....
KILLS the flies as she KILLS the fine red!



hitchiker (spotted those crackers by Liz )


We can't ALL like Tall Ships
This one is about 100 + ft long

Feeling right at home at Little Sand Bay bein's we spotted this barge by the name PELICAN.


Just about to Lake Superior when a bearing got hot and started the hub grease on FIRE !!!

Finally got back on road about 24hrs later and started our sailing trip to the Apostles.
Looks like fun to me




Something about Grandkids and water...

July 2010

They all made it to Watertown for the celebration....

May 11.... It marks THIRTY-ONE years for these two sailors.

Many many days of calm breeze and clear skies

Interspersed with stretches of exciting new winds

Took on some water a few times and made some repairs

These days we wouldn't trade for any other, including day one.

Didn't try to go to Grand Forks this year for Christmas due to the big STORM....
How was I so lucky to find that SPECIAL wife that "insists" on hanging the Christmas lights??
Now... how do I get down?
