Sunday was Mimi's Birthday. We spent it in the pool, out to lunch, on the beach, out for a sunset sail, and then grilled out with Bday cake to follow. Well, actually it was some of our left over wedding cake Mom and Dad had in the freezer.
The sail that afternoon in the ocean was soo nice and calm. It was like a lake out there and made for a very relaxing little afternoon sail.

Monday. We spent some time on the beach in the morning, then ate some lunch and decided to attempt the LONG sail(Me, Jeff, Marg, and Pops), down the Gulf to the bridge to bring the boat back on the bay side. The ocean is a little rough for sailing on most days and the bay is much calmer for mimi and pops to sail on their own. It was a little more rough than the day before, and actually Jeff ended up sailing us the entire length of the Coast, manuvered around the jetties, and between the concrete bridge posts. I'll tell you, that is tough work on a sailboat as your fate is up to the wind and you are tacking to catch it but only have about 50yds to work in. But we DID it, and watched the sun-set from the bay on the boat. One thing Dad failed to mention, was we had to sail around Ono Island b/c we were too high to pass under that bridge....Well, that meant we had to sail back past the condo on the bay side about another 3 miles and then turn back to hit our dock. Yeah, well, the sun started setting, so we found a place to beach the boat, until Tomorrow......Good Times, and
I think that is a great picture of you, mom and sis!
