Sailing

The winds were blowing steadily, so Rick decided to take out the sailboat on the river. Here Rick and Theresa are setting up the boat and raising the jib. (Preparing the boat takes about 1 1/2 hours each time.)

Rick, Kendall, and Chase took out the boat with only the jib up. (Rick was worried that the winds might be too strong with the kids to put up the mainsail.) They sailed all over for about an hour.

Rick and the kids heading back to the dock. Chase doesn't look very thrilled, but Kendall clearly is having a good time.
Bruce Rawlins came to the river and then he and Rick took out the boat after putting up the mainsail. They sailed until dark when the wind died.
