You may recall last year we first wanted to move to the island.  Tick!!!!!

Now 10 months later we have finally purchased our first boat and so proud our son Alpha and Stayathomemotheroffour were the first of our family to take it for a test sail before we paid.   Stayatworkfatherofthree was left on shore to watch with Bravo and Charlie, under doctors’ orders not to get my arm wet in the sea until the wounds healed (a whole different story).

Here is our first (crappy) video of the test voyage (shaking a bit as arm in sling and keeping one eye on our toddler climbing on the rails):

Three Cheers (how appropriate) for the smallest boat in the marina.   Good things come in small packages is what my old school Principal used to say.

And it is not what you have, but what you do with it that counts.  Well, that’s what my wife says anyway.
