Sammie the Aussie (6.4.11)

Sammie was aboard the Clementine I when we met her and her parents (Stuart and Carly) in Green Turtle Cay.  She's been aboard a boat her entire life (all 6 years of it)!  In fact, her parents had been sailing for the past eleven years, originally from Australia.  We saw our friends again the morning we were leaving Munjack.  Since its not all that often that Grayson has a girl playmate onboard, we invited her to come over for a visit.  Carly shared a cup of coffee with us as the kids played.

Birthday Cake (6.3.11)

Somehow birthdays are better when they are celebrated with cake.

Manjack's Sunset (6.3.11)

Solo Stress (6.3.11)

Imagine my dismay when Lloyd tells Harrison he can take the dinghy out solo for his birthday.  Add in his sister as a passenger and you really get my heart rate up.  Harrison did great this time (remind me to tell you about another birthday when he had to be towed back to the boat by 2 strangers), and the two were proud of their journey.

Bathing off the Back (6.3.11)

I can truly tell you that we had enough water on board to last for probably two weeks, but, old habits die hard.  Lloyd and Grayson like to bathe off the back end of the boat.  Joy is their soap of preference.  I, however, was not born in a barn; I prefer a real shower.  

Sushi (6.3.11)

There's nothing better than grilled tuna steaks except maybe fresh (right out of the ocean) tuna.  Where's our favorite sushi chef when you need them???
