3 Hour Tour

We spent last week in Florida and one of our mornings were spent sailing off the coast of Captiva. I can assure you it wasn't a 'Jeeves pack the caviar and bring the car around, we're going sailing.' It was more of a 'Careful not to let Maya touch the Corona bottle and could somebody please ask Cap'n Skeevy to stop hitting on Mom?'


We all pitched in with the sailing duties. Jenny and Morgan pulled a bunch of ropes while Jason turned a few cranks and I was told to get out of the way. Mom was in charge of the driving? Steering? And when she wanted a break Maya had no problem filling in.

While Dad....um.....well, I suppose he needed a rest after handing over his credit card. You could sprain something if you're not careful.

We went out for 3 hours and Maya did great. I picked up some bubbles for the trip and she played with them for at least an hour if not more. The breeze was so strong that all she had to do was hold out the wand to get a million bubbles. It was toddler heaven.

We saw several dolphins but no sharks, despite all of Dad's stories of the hammerhead sharks and how they like to breed around here. It would have been something to see one. The hammerhead is just too funny looking. They're scary but in a 'Dude what's wrong with your head,' kind of a way.
