Sailing on the Mystic River and Goodbye to Ann and the Boys

We kept busy up to the end of the stay for Ann and her boys. Dwayne took the boys sailing in a classic wooden boat. It was a new experience for all aboard. It was a boomless, sprit rigged cat. This meant the boys would not get hit in the head with a boom if they failed to duck. It also meant, Dwayne had to learn how to control this rig which was an interesting experience. The boys had fun but liked sailing on Foreign Affair better since you didn't have to duck "ropes" and move around in the cockpit so much every time the boat changed direction. On Foreign Affair they just sat back and relaxed.

After lunch, we drove Ann and her sons to the airport for their flight back home. It was a fun filled week for all of us that too quickly passed. Many pictures were taken and it will be a fond memory for all of us.
