Serenity

Time for boating! Whitt, Maddie, & I took a Sunday trip down to Kinsale, Va to get Whitt's sail boat up and running for the season. We've been so busy the sail boat has been put on the back burner.

Serenity is a 26' sail boat. We were able to get a brand new motor and needed to test it! So we motored out to an island close to the harbor, threw out the anchor, and cleaned the boat just off shore.

Anchored!

The happy captain!

Scrubbing the decks!

Weird shrine to American freedom on the island.

After scrubbing down the decks and cabin we headed out to the bay for a little joy ride. It was a gorgeous day and the ospreys were out in full force fishing. The only thing that would have made the day better is if there was enough wind to set the sails. But at least we now know the new motor works!

Land-ho!

If you look closely you can see the baby in the nest to the right!
