Karen, Derek, and I spent the day sailing around Conanicut Island on Glory with our new friends, Chris and Mary. Glory is a 45 foot sloop that is simply beautiful. We had a great afternoon learning how to sail and enjoying the breathtaking views of Rhode Island.

Putting the rail in the water...
The sail boat was at a 45° angle!
Karen and Mary loving the ride!
I was sitting opposite of derek, using my feet to support myself.
Do you see the horizon? and the angle of the sail?!?!
We had an unforgettable afternoon and can't wait to go sailing again! A special thanks to Grandma and Grandpa T for the gift, for watching the girls for such a long day, and for giving us a day off!! We love you very much! Grandpa we should buy a sail boat... just sayin :)
