Today Madelyn and I went sailing for the first time on my uncle Michael's sailboat "Audacity". I've been looking forward to getting out on the boat ever since he bought it.... so of course I woke up excited this morning. The first thing I did was wake Madelyn up with the smooth sounds of Christopher Cross and his song "Sailing" from 1980 (click
here to listen). The nice Saturday afternoon sail wasn't exactly to the same tempo as Christopher Cross.... it was more like the Metallica version. The wind was howling, the water was choppy, we got drenched, and had to move quickly from each side of the boat to balance the weight.... but we had a GREAT time. We were moving like pros by the end, it was such a beautiful evening and the water was the perfect temperature. It even got smooth enough for a while so that we could snap some pictures.

I swear I thought I already left a comment - I was so jealous after looking at these pictures. But I wanted to ask if you had to do any work on the sailboat as you were riding around on it (like pulling ropes or something), because if so then I'm not THAT jealous anymore.
