A couple of weeks ago, Sequoia and I took our sail boat out for an over night rendezvous on Rhode River. We met my brother Mark and his son Chris. They brought their new boat over from Tilghman Island.
Sequoia has been enjoying the fact that we have a sail boat and has even been swimming off of it before. That is big brave stuff for a 3 year old I think.
We all had a great time visiting and swimming and just visiting. It was our first over night on the boat and I was very impressed with how easily Sequoia adapted to the whole experience. She really had a feel for the unique things that make up life on a small sail boat and she took to it like a fish to water.
This is a great development in my opinion as it marks the continuation of a very, very Newberg tradition of spending quality family time on small sail boats. The fact that we were able to share her first overnight with her cousin and uncle made it even more special.
In the morning Sequoia was sad to see Mark and Chris head out on their boat, headed to St. Michael's and a slip close to their house. Hopefully before long we will head across the Bay to visit them on their own cruising grounds.
