A Day on the Boat

 Today, we were able to head down to the harbour and spend some time on the boat. We went to do some work and clean the wood finish. We are trying to do all the work we can while we can't take the boat out of the harbour.  The shroud replacement will be here on tuesday and I can't wait until the mast and sails are finally up and we are able to have the first sail. Emma is going to come for a visit next weekend too!

When we got to the harbour, we saw that there were 3 families of geese by the water. My mom and I were able to sit and watch them as they all climbed down the rocks and got into the water for a quick swim. I was able to catch some pictures of each family as they swam past. The first family is one we saw a few days ago with ten goslings. The second has only four, but they are the smallest and very cute! The last one had five, which seemed to be the oldest of the babies.

We also took the dogs to train them to the boat. Slowly but surely they are going to get their "sea legs." So far, Fonzie likes to explore the boat while Josie prefers to cuddle.

My dad, hard at work cleaning the wood!

And my mom, relaxing with Josie.
