Good day all!

| This is my home marina (Sewell) - at Horseshoe bay |
New adventure for the last two days... I was used as a "hotel" at Snug Cove! Caroline has her niece Lauren over from Ottawa for a two week vacation. Part of that time consists of me being used as a hotel over in Snug Cove (where else eh!).
First day... Skipper in training, Lauren helped Hank take me over to Snug cove... great weather to say the least... We arrived safely, settled into... where else... A7 slip. While I was waiting around doing nothing, the crew departed for food and drink.
That evening Hank left for home on the ferry, giving the girls one and one time together.
Next morning Hank came back, reading me to take the girls on an afternoon sail. Well sail it was... just past Passage Island the winds picked up to around 15- 20 knots; perfect sailing for me!... but a little too much wind and wave for the girls. Lauren did really well learning how to handle me in these conditions. She turned me around without problem, heading us back into calmer waters.

We sailed to Hood Point, where Lauren practice a man-over-board procedure. Did very well! She turned me around again, and headed back to Snug Cove. The sailing was great going back. Hank took over the controls, allowing Lauren to explore my bow seat... looking good eh!
That evening, again, Hank took for home via the ferry, returning the following day. We set sailed for home, as the girls were going to an art showing in Vancouver.
