Family Catamaran Outing

After some fun surfing on the antique windsurf board at Oneroa yesterday evening we went out for our first family sail on the Hobie 16. We are borrowing the boat from a neighbor (and making some upgrades in exchange for use). The kids were a bit grumpy to leave the house, but were quickly engaged once we raised the sails. Nikolas tried out the harness and spent most of his time hanging out on the trapeze. Isaac also hung on without use of a harness. We need to find some kid sized harnesses for the next outing. Wind was variable and we maxed out at 9 knots (according to our GPS). The highlight was "jumping" over the wake of the Fullers car transport ferry! Next goal: pack the camping gear and sail to a remote shore of our island or one of the neighboring islands.
