Grandkids on a Boat

Have I told you how much fun it is to be in a small place for 6 days with your three grandkids, who are sometimes bored, and refuse to be interested in all my lectures about the ocean, waves, diesel engines, weather forecasts, navigation software, and making a boat a clean boat, which we all know is a happy boat, and a happy boat is a safe boat.

No, they do not seem so interested in all those wonderful topics. What to eat is good. How long will it be before we reach our next port is always a question near and dear to their heart. When can we get the dinghy down off the davits and run around in it? Is there a beach nearby? All these things we have done over this last week. In fact, Shelley and I have been to a beach every day since the Wurth family arrived, and it has been great. New Jersey is big on beaches, but their idea of sand is warped. If you can avoid the trash on the beach, and the small rocks, sea weed, dead animals, it is really pretty.

Seriously we have had fun with Shana and the three grandkids. I ran them hard today and we put them to bed wet. Almost 10 hours out in the Atlantic
