The weather finally cooperated for us to anchor out in Hering Bay. We had a magical evening where the kids each caught several fish and they had fun putting the crab pot out and checking on it.

The night was rough, there was minimal wind and what there was was coming from the south so it seemed likeit should have been perfect but there were waves (not that big, like 1-2ft) that were hitting us right across our beam which was making the boat roll like crazy (dishes were crashing),somehow magically the kids didn't wake up but Colin and I had it rough, even sleeping seperate.

The next day we sailed out into the bay and back (once the wind chose to join us). We noticed that now that Colin and I are more comfortable with what we're doing it's easier for us to involve the kids in the various sailing tasks which they are absolutely loving, especially G.
