A few more trips under our belt!!


We are learning more each time we venture out on our Sweet Ride..... 
One trip down the coast took us to Gloucester, a beautiful little town.

We took both Andy and Charlie. They are both working on adapting to sea life. Andy is becoming a chill boat cat while Charlie is a bit nervous, especially when the boat moves, the cat looks at him funny, the engine makes noise,..... he has a way to go before becoming a chill boat dog. 

 It became a little bit of a challenge when I couldn't convince Charlie to use his fake grass patch on the back deck for 24 hours and so we finally took him to land by dingy ( his first ride in the dingy) so he could use real grass. We all felt much relief! He actually really enjoyed the dingy when we sped up and he was able to relax and feel the breeze. He will get the hang of it.

I think Christopher had a need for speed that day. :)

On the way home we ran into some weather changes. We managed to get to the Isle of Shoals just as it started getting very very windy and learned to moor the boat in rougher weather! Yay! Did it!

 We are definitely looking forward to the next trip!
