sailing - take me away

Yesterday some very nice people invited Lyons and John 

to attend a sailboat race around Robin's Island.

They knew that Lyons has been in sailing camp for four years 

and wanted to give him the experience of being on a boat during a real race.  

I determined that Lyons would either have a great time

or a terrible time

and waited on pins and needles for their arrival home.

The good news was 

he had a great time!

What an evening.

They were in second place for most of the race ~

until the spinnaker sail got tangled while they were jibing.

(what?)

Lyons had a great time anyway.

Thanks for giving him this experience Peggy & Paul.

He'll never forget it.

And if you ever need an extra sailor again,

I'm sure he'll be available.
