Fair Winds

The elders quorum had a sailing activity, courtesy of several very generous members, out on the Patuxent River (set sail from near Broomes Island).

Jill & CJ stayed on land (we didn't have a baby life-jacket for CJ) - they swam in the big pool and played with some of the other folks that came. After my quick cruise, we grabbed a bite to eat and headed back to real life: homework for Jeremy and a baby shower for Jill & CJ.

Here are some photos from the trip:

What a fun trip. A BIG THANKS to everyone who made that activity possible.
