Baby's First Sail

Isla's first sail,  June 16, 2012
This day was a great one on many fronts.  But getting our little girl out on the rail with the wind in her face was definitely the highlight.  She loved sailing, and was a happy little camper both on deck and below.  When she wasn't looking around curiously at the sky, waves and all the stimuli a boat underway has to offer, she was lulled to a sweet slumber by the gentle motion of the boat.  She's a natural and we could not be more excited to do this every day with her!!  There is so much to show her, so much for her to learn and so much she'll teach us!... Scott and I agree wholeheartedly:  cruising is going to be a lot more fun having this little monkey around.  Not only are kids the world's greatest ambassadors, we'll get to see the world through a child's eyes and seriously, is there anything better than that?

Your last sentence/ question was probably rhetorical, but as a fatehr of two (now 15 and 10), I can emphatically say that having children profoundly changed me, my view of the world and those around me - all for the better. The personal growth that invariably comes from being a parent made me more understanding and empathetic. The answer: although there are challenges, there is nothing better! It is a fast ride, so get ready and hold on tight!

Isla looks awesome on the rail...a natural. Someday she will be on the rail yelling at you and Scott to ease that jib!

Great picture of little Isla ... so cute! Reminds me of a similar picture of our daughter in her life jacket 20 years ago ... time flies! You're right ... nothing much better than seeing the world through your child's eyes. Those years were some of the best!
