Sail swap

Image
Well the time of season has come.  We are past the wind swept spring and moving into true summer sailing.  This week I swapped out my main sail.  I'm running all Sail Rite sails this week.  These sails are the newest on my boat and look sharp and crisp as they fly in the air.  The previous owner sewed up the main sail and I sewed up the jib.  Together they look really sharp.  We sailed for about 4 hours this Thursday I had to drag Myles back in.  He has this new thing he wants to sail at night.  I think he just wants to stay up past bed time but I think I'll be humoring his request soon.   As a side note all my Android Educational Apps are Free on Amazon this week to celebrate the release of my new app Sight Word Football!

Forth of July

Image
Here we go Fourth of July and we are at Tower Marine again.  Really you just can't find a better place to watch the fireworks.  We have tried.  We started off the evening with a little grilling.  Hot dogs, chips ketchup and oh yeah Jones Blue Bubble gum soda that stuff is he best.   Next we sailed for a couple of hours out on Lake Kalamazoo.  Looking around for the fire works barge. We never saw it until later that evening when it floated out to the middle of the lake.   We followed this up with a trip to the play ground,  We decided it was to cold to swim this evening so we went back to the boat to do some fishing.   We are the worst fishermen ever.  We never catch a thing.  Next we fed the ducks.  Then our friends started arriving.  The fireworks where spectacular.
