Yesterday we went for our first dingy ride since we have been here. Chuck had to have some work done on the outboard (of course) and it is now working like a charm! So... out we went onto the water - actually moving! For Charlotte it was a little scary, because we are talking about a 7' rubber raft instead of the 40' sailboat. But (especially for the family) she wore her life jacket and braved the waters. It was actually very fun and we saw a little bit of the island that you don't see from the streets. Traveling this way you get to see all the houses with their private docks and boats ranging from large to very small (falling down docks too).
Since we aren't moving yet, Chuck took the opportunity to attend Sea-School and get his Captain's license. You can get different levels and this one is called a six-pak. Anyway, he is going to be going to school for the next 10 days and get his certification. Exciting for him.
Well there isn't much to elaborate on as we are still working on das-boat and getting closer to actually sailing..... we can't wait.
We love and miss everyone and look forward to seeing you sometime in the near future. Once we get underway - we still hope for visitors.
Chuck & Charlotte
