Day 8: The beach and Uncle Skip's Sailboat


We went to da BEACH! Love, love the beach. We went boogie boarding, explored tide pools, flew a mini-kite, went for "long walks on the beach," and ate italians and whoopie pies. The weather was awesome and we even found some starfish and crabs in the tide pools. After the beach, we went on my Uncle Skip's sailboat. John was in heaven. We got the sailboat going pretty dang fast in the wind. We each got a turn sailing the boat. On my turn, I (of course) had a little mishap with a lobster trap- but Uncle Skip came in and saved the day with his lobster buoey stick thingy - and yes, I'm sure that's the technical term for it. We saw seals and lots of forts and islands! Thank you, Uncle Skip, for a fun time! The bottom pic is us coming back in on the dingy.. It was dark and rainy out by then.
