A wonderful day to be out on a yacht today – and this afternoon the oft-expressed desire was fulfilled by way of an invitation onto Faith again. After a quick lunch as soon as Nick arrived home from his morning services, we met up with Pam, Geoff and Maddy, John, Cindy and girls, and Mike, Karen, Jessica and Kian at the docks. We had to be ferried over in three loads in the dinghy but eventually were all aboard safely. It was a fantastic afternoon of chatting, chilling, eating ample snacks provided by Karen and Cindy, swimming, and even turtle spotting by Pam who sat quietly at the front of the boat (I’m sure there’s a fancy name for that, like the upper deck or fore-seating or something), wondering how long she could hold on to her lunch. Eventually the bobbing and swelling and dipping proved too much and she literally fed the fish (yes, they really do come up for a nibble). Enough said. Caleb and Aaron got to go out on the dinghy with Kian who gave them a crash course in piloting the dinghy, which surely was the highlight for them.

Fancy name = Clemmys guttata which technically doesn't describe the activity as much as the object of the activity :)
Alternatively alof, ahead, sitting athwartships, a-bow, behind the bowsprit before the bridge? Who needs jargon?
Once last one? between the 'bouys' Caleb and Aaron?
Man I be jealous, the clouds are gray and cool in Gauteng this morning, much rather be on the water :)
Poor Pam! Does she always get seasick?
