So my parents did a thing this week; they have been talking about boats, specifically sailing boats, for quite a while and hemming and hawing over learning to sail. I have to say that I didn't really think they were serious, but this week, they pulled the trigger...calling it a 15 year anniversary present (a little belated as it may be), and they bought a 33 year old Newport 30 from a retired sailor stepping out of the sport.

| Our first sail, with me at the helm...this will take some getting used to. |

Moving day! Taking the boat to our home port...a 5 hour sail
under the watchful eye of our newest friend, Mr. Bob!! |

Here is to fair winds and following seas! The family adventure begins...
