More Sailing on the Potomac with the Family


The sailing lessons Kathy and I took had a free week of sailing practice. Once Kathy and I were certified for sailing, we decided to take the kids out on the boat. Here are more sailing photos -

Kirsten is ready to go sailing on the Potomac river!







Stephen is very serious at the helm
of the boat!











It's Michael's turn to guide the sail boat.









Everyone back on shore - safe and sound!

The boat is in the background. As you can see, it's not particularly big. It's a 19ft sailboat called the Flying Scot.

You can rent it for about $20/hour. The reason I like it, is that you can spend the morning, sailing on the Potomac for $60. So you get to enjoy sailing without spending big bucks buying a boat.

Sailing

About three weeks ago, Kathy and I took sailing lessons. It was from Monday through Thursday, 10AM to 12:30PM. It was a lot of fun to learn together. Here's a picture of me at the helm of the boat. It's not the best photo but I thought we would share it with you on the blog.
