On Wednesday, June 28th Karen & I rented a J80 sailboat for the afternoon and took mom & dad sailing. The wind started off light out of the north so we decided to sail across the sound to Port Morgan (about 5 miles). It turned out to be a beautiful day with the wind building to 12-15 knots at times.
Once we got out of Shilshole Marina I pretty much handed over the driving chores to my parent’s. My mom drove most of the way across the sound while Sam drove back. We were out for about 4 hours total and everyone had a safe and wonderful time.

It’s only taken 20 years to get them on a boat - be sure to ask them about their great adventure!
