Back to School and Time for a Sail

This week the kids and I returned to school.  Kate to Ottawa U, Erin to SJSH, and John to Our Lady of Fatima.  It was not easy;  the summer was perfect. 

We had not been on the boat for over a week, so this evening--with perfect weather again--we decided to order a pizza and head down to the boat.

The kids have become great sailors.  With Kate in Ottawa, John and Erin crewed while Sharon and I relaxed.   We have had many sails this summer and I have been behind in updating my blog.  Too many adventures--which is a good thing.

The Chief Commanda passed by as the sun set.  Normally we would adjust course and intercept so that we could wave to Kate as she worked.  But (sob--tears of sadness--joy), she has returned to university.

We rarely take pictures or video while motoring back to the marina, but this evening was too beautiful.

Sailing is a peaceful activity.  Everyone relaxes and enjoys.
