Robyn, Gavin and the kids are in town for a week so we set aside today for a day of boating. Our plan was to go to Kingston, tie up for the afternoon and then go to McDonalds and maybe a movie. We had a wonderful time crossing the sound and Cohen, Avery and Austin had a great time on the boat. Cohen was allowed to help me with the lines and drop the stern fenders.
We arrived in Kingston about noon and decided to fill up the fuel tanks. While Bob did that I went to the office to see about our moorage and discovered that there was no guest dock space available, no reciprocal and not even an available slip if we wanted to pay for a full night. We decided that while Bob and Gavin filled the tanks Robyn and I would take Cohen and Avery with us and make a quick trip to McDonalds at the other end of town. We made it back before Bob finished. I have to admit he didn't exactly rush as he filled the tanks and it gave us extra time to make it back.
We headed back to Everett while everyone had a "picnic" on the boat. For the kids, it really didn't make much difference sine they seem to have fun no matter what they do! Austin took a great nap all the way back.
It was fun to be out on the water with them and see how comfortable they are becoming. They know the rules and are strict with themselves about the life jackets. They are really becoming a great "crew"!
