Playing with Wind and Waves

I see that my pre-written, pre-scheduled 

posts ran out several days ago. Today 

may not be the day to fill up the "queue" 

again. But I will show one joy from the week...

The sailboat brought us soaring 

across the lake again! The first day 

was wet and wild, but the second 

gentle and relaxing.

Dad taught us to sail when young on his 

17-foot Dolphin before buying a 14-foot 

Snark we could handle all on our own.

Both of those boats were in our barn

when it collapsed under heavy snow

years back. Just a few years ago, they

were replaced with this New-Zealand 

designed, tri-hull Weta.

It doesn't take much wind to make 

this thing go! It is even fun to sail solo.

Elsa was too young to want to learn 

the mechanics of sailing our old boats. 

And her neurological damage from 

Lyme-etc. is still not allowing it. 

So for now she helps run the jib-sheets. 

And someday, she'll have the tiller in

her hand as well!

I thought how God must smile 

to see His children playing in the 

wonders of His creation!
