At Sea, Again



I can't believe I caught this fabulous photo of Katja onboard at sea! This was at sunset.
We were going from Fernandina Beach FL, to Fort Pierce, FL, again overnight. This time the seas were so calm there was barely a ripple. Also there was no wind at all, so we had to motor the entire 210 nautical miles.



Here is Brian taking a wonderful nap in the sunshine, while offshore from around Cape Canaveral. We saw the NASA launch pad!



Here is Madelyn, always imaginative, now playing that the fenders are her "horses" and she is saying "Giddy-up! Yee-Haw!" to them. She informed me that she is wearing both a cowboy hat and her life jacket in this picture.



As you can see, our (by-the-way-expensive) life jackets from Great Britain include heavy duty metal clips on the back. There we attach tethers, which are connected to our boat all the time. When the girls are down below, they can take their life jackets off. Brian and I wear inflatable life jackets with adult tethers when sailing at night or in rough weather.




Here are the girls peeking through one of the hatches at me and the camera while sailing!



A photo of the photographer!


Beautiful sunset at sea....
