Ahoy, Maties!

We got to take our sailing cruise today. We are so happy that we stayed late and did this. The weather was beautiful and it was a great experience. Most of the crew was dressed as they would have when this ship was sailing. They encourage those on board to take part and become part of the "crew". Bob, Andy and Heather did this. I did very little because I was taking pictures but we all had fun. We learned how much work it was to sail a large ship like this, especially back in the 1800's without the equipment that is available today. Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Sailing Pictures

Here are a few more sailing pictures. The third picture shows Bob and Heather. Andy was also there, but you can't see him in the picture. They helped steer the ship for about 1/2 hour. They tell me that it is hard work to turn the rudder. The bottom picture is the captain. He had a little hand organ and he performed a little sailing music for us. We felt like we had stepped back in time.

God's Paintbrush

Here are some pictures of Thursday night. We watched the sun go down over the lake and it was beautiful. The waves were really high and the tips were pink tinged from the setting sun. I'm thankful we have a God who lets us enjoy a multi-colored world!
