Port Madison boat trip

Since we had never fully unpacked the boat from the weekend before, we decided to head out again for another overnight trip. This time we anchored out in Port Madison, again rafted to my parents. Lots of fun and beautiful weather this time!

Jamie's peeking out the head hatch (maybe it was a bit stinky in there for him?)

The moment that Grandma and Grandpa pull alongside, the kids flee like our boat is sinking.

Port Madison was lovely - it was cool to look at all the massive Bainbridge Island homes.

We leisurely sailed home with the main sail and since we were going downwind it was steady enough for the kids to sit on the rail and "fish" with their nets.

All I had to do was watch out for the boom to switch sides occasionally.

Jamie adds some tension on the sail to increase our speed.

Tristan, at 3, is 100 times easier to handle on the boat then when he was 2.

Coming up on Agate Pass bridge I had an idea to pretend that out mast might hit it. (To be honest, Tristan was concerned at first before I ever even got the idea)

But Grandpa was gaining on us since he was motoring now and so he went under first.

Tristan was quite concerned but let out a huge sigh of relief when Grandpa's boat did not collide with the bridge!

And then of course we didnt't either.

Whew!!!  That was close (or not), since we had just gone under the bridge the day before.
