Sailboating

Our trip to the Dominican got canceled when Lizzy got hospitalized for a bout of enflamed intestines (whatever the hell that means).  Lizzy was in a lot of pain for days.  Probably something one shouldn't have in a third world country.  We are planning on rescheduling our trip; I'm not sure when.  Needless to say, we were all pretty bummed.  It was a the right choice to stay home.  But we were all depressed.  In an effort of cheer us up, I called my friend Eric who just started his own sailing company; Narwal Yacht Charters.  He was generous to fit us in so last minute and we look a lovely sail around Manhattan at sunset.  The pictures really say it all:


Seriously!  Could this be anymore beautiful?!  I don't this view could ever get old.


My little sailor with his Gammy.  I thought Wyatt was going to get seasick even though he has been on boats before.  At one point he turned very green and asked to go in the cabin.  I distracted him and he was back to his joyous self in no time.


I love this picture.  Love, love.



The official old man of the sea.  He has salt water in his veins.


Eric let me take the boat for a spin.  I miss sailing so much!  I am so grateful for the wonderful memories with my family, to Eric for showing us an excellent day, and for the spirit of vacation that lives on his boat.  It wasn't the Dominican but it wasn't half bad either.
