Ryuishiro, Kanako, Juna and Carlos come to stay. We have the best fun.
Ryuishiro loves the boat.

Isn’t it great when kids love sailing.
Matsuda sensei is the best, er in so many ways.
The buckets contain baby turtles.
Kanako loves sea slugs
Raising sail for another day of adventure.

You can have so much fun with a rubber ring
Carlos, whose real name is Yasunori, is a good man
Simple things
Anyway, we had a wonderful time. Children make everything more fun. Thanks Carlos and Juna.

Your boat reminds me of “Swallow” from “Swallows and Amazons” with that red sail. Particularly if kids were using it 🙂
Thank you Neil, for introducing us to your amazing boat, and letting us experience your great adventures!!
Neil, The photos in this post are delightful. The smiles on all the faces reflect the joy of simple sailing with friends and family. I look forward to having my 3 year old grandson join me in my Scaffie for some similar fun. Your comment: “Children make everything more fun is certainly true.”
Thanks Lew.
Oops, insert final quotation mark after “fun.”
