Took my two kids out on the water for a short but spicy sail on the water December 23rd. We only put out the head sail and did mostly down wind... everytime i came up to a beat, my daughter would yell and tell me to turn down!?!? I guess we had to much canvas out for her and she wanted a flat boat! LOL. All in all, we had a great time. Hot coco was made when we hit the dock afterwards! Lots of cold smiles!

Friday December 11th My Son tommy and I put his mutineer 15 into the water for the second time ever. This time with the mast and sails ready to go! We sailed around the Solomons Island creeks and rivers for 2.5 miles. My son was so excited and I proud of him!
Saturday December 12th, Dads secret plan goes into effet! I stole the Mutt for a race against some Buccs! We did 6 races off of Solomons Island, and the tired old boat with almost 50yr old sails rounded the course, made every mark and got us home with our issue! What a great littel boat ! I can see why people are drawn to the smaller boats... so much fun!
All in all 2 days on the water of fun in December... cant beat it!
