Thanksgiving







You wouldn't believe what my Thanksgiving was like. I had it with complete strangers! The harbor master walked right past us and asked us if we wanted to go to their Thanksgiving party. We said sure. We went over to the place where they were having the party and took some showers. After we took a shower we went to the beach. I found 15 clam shells. They were an inch thick! I also found a snail shell 4 inches round, some coral and a horse shoe crab shell! When we got back it was around 2:00 P.M. It was time for dinner. There were 2 turkeys, stuffing, stuffing balls(a whole lot of them at least 100, mashed potatoes, butter nut squash and a dessert table! I had a lot of fun!

Stay Cool,

Annapolis








Two days ago we motor sailed from Chesapeake City to Annapolis. That was about a 9 hour motor sail. Unfortunately, we had to sail at night again. When we went under the bridge my dad saw a lot of ships,tankers, and barges. We got some pretty big waves! A couple made me go off of the ground. The name of the bathroom is the head. I'm having a lot of fun!

My first big sail

Two days ago we motor sailed from Cape May to Chesapeake City. That was about a 14 hour motor sail. Wow. I went to bed around 9:45. Most of that time I was helping my dad navigate the boat. Our boat went under 2 bridges. Each one was about an inch taller than our boat's mast. It was exciting to go under the bridges. The fastest we went last night was 8 knots. I'm happy to be back on the boat!

Stay Cool,

Big Chandelier

Today, my Uncle Sam got a huge chandelier. I would say 85% of it is crystal! One of the crystal icicles broke, but we think there are extra crystals icicles. It's about 6 feet off of the ground. I think it looks very cool!

Tomorrow I was supposed to meet my dad. But the wind is so strong we can't. Our boat is hanging I miss my dad.

Stay Cool,
