Yay - the new sail has actually left the lounge room. A family trip to the boat (just to make sure it stayed on the boat and didn't return to the lounge room). Emily & I did have to travel in the car with it on our heads though
James had to help put the sail up as I failed...conversation went a little like this.
Tim: Claire - pull the red line
Claire: the what?? (I was on best behaviour as the children were present)
Tim:
the red ropeClaire: this one?
Tim: No! The other red one
Claire:
Tim (pointing & getting a little impatient): That one!
Claire: Ohh, the GREEN one (assuming Tim's colour blindness was the problem)
Tim: No, it's red
Claire: Really??
Tim: It may be a little mouldy
Claire: EEEWWWW...mouldy??? James, pull this rope!
Anyway the finished product...
& the happy sailor...(still giving directions to those not listening...
)
- THE END!!
- Now i just have to find time to attach the reefing lines and cunningham and we're ready to sail...YEAH!!
Love this. Laughed out loud at - 'Ewww. James, pull this rope!' Ah, the benefits of having kids :)
ReplyDeleteJust remember Claire, a crews inability to complete a task is a direct reflection of the skippers ability, or lack thereof :)
ReplyDeleteHi Tim , Getting closer to that time on the water Didn't you know that a crew is like a computer ; Only as good as the information that is fed into it .
