Today we had a leisurely morning. After a late breakfast, H&D took the kayaks out for a spin. We had lunch on the "Lido Deck," played some cards with the kids (even Rod got sucked in by Sienna), played some Mexican Train & then H&D went back out on the kayaks with the sails up. Heather was a little tentative at first but almost looked like a pro by the time she came back. Sounds like there will be more practice before they head out to sea!!!
Jon & Lois had a couple of blow up mattresses & 2 noodles so they got some initation today too. Many toys to choose from...how will everyone decide???
Harv & Maggie's friends got here this afternoon. They are staying on Jon's boat as it's larger than Harv's & probably will be here until Mon or Tues. Happy hour was about 6:00 with cocktails, clams & french bread on Harv's boat. The clams are served in small paper bowls & Sienna had 8 servings - she loves them. She ate more than any of the adults. We got the leftovers to make clam chowder with tomorrow so Rod shucked them & saved the broth.
I was talking to the visitors (Marty & Penny) & one thing led to another...it turns out that Marty & I are cousins - maybe 2nd or 3rd, we're trying to sort that out with help from our siblings and his mom. I'm really sure that my dad & his dad were 1st-2nd or 3rd cousins because I remember my dad talking about relatives in Vancouver but I never met them. What are the chances of that happening in Desolation Sound, with drop in guests on the boat next to us in our raft - amazing, and small world?!!!
After we were done the girls went swimming with their dad. It was Talia's first time in the water. She didn't want to go in at first but once she tried it she kept jumping off the swim step.
