Sailing Camp 2014

The boys attended a second session of Sailing Camp at Blackbeard Sailing Club last week.  Caleb and Nathan were students and Luke and Jacob were volunteers.

We had been on the waiting list and had not heard if they would be able to go or not. Saturday morning I happened to mention it to the head instructor and he said, " They are on the list, of course they can come".

We had already been at the club most of the previous week. So Sunday afternoon, we rushed home did some laundry and grocery shopping and Brian mowed the yard, then we were back down for dinner and another week on the boat.  Brian commuted back and forth to work each day.

Here are some photos of camp.

Most of the kids went home or to their grandparents at the end of camp each day. Another family had their cousins visiting from MI and were staying in a tent on the grounds. So we had fun in the evenings with them.  One project they did was to tie die t shirts and submerge them in the river all week to see how brown they would get.

We had a great time sharing the Prince's visiting family.


Another project  all of the camp kids did was to make a Pirate laundry bag for one of the advanced coaches, who will be a freshman at Eastern Carolina University this fall.

All in all it was a great week of camp, but after two weeks away from home, I was grateful to pull into our driveway Sunday afternoon.
