Testing out my sea legs




Before I booked for the cruise I thought I should take a boat ride. That's not really true... I do fine on boats, it was just a nice way to start this post! I went out on a friends sail boat last night. We did a race called the Duck Dodge. It is ALL sail boats, not motors allowed! Here are the rules to give you an idea.

Rules
Rule 1: No hitting one-another (With or without boats)

Rule 2: Rules of the road apply

Rule 3: No hitting one-another

Rule 4: Take all marks to PORT

Rule 5: No hitting one-another

Rule 6: Bribing the committee is against the rules (while anybody is looking)

Rule 7: No hitting one-another

Rule 8: There is no rule number 8

Rule 9: No hitting one-another

Rule 10: Follow all the rules

Rule 11: No hitting one-another

Rule 12: Never make a duck change its course (Dodge theDuck) There are no customs unless you go really way off course.


It was fun! There were a few near misses. (I think this phrase is odd, we use it in my job to.. wouldn't a near miss be a hit? ) I have a big apprecaition for the sail boat, but I'll stick with unnatural power!


Oh, and we booked for the Alaska Cruise!!! I don't have the room number yet for those of you keeping track.

The sail boats are beautiful. Was this on the Sound?
I'm glad you're going on the cruise!! I hope our whole family comes.
