Kids just wanna have fun


Kids can certainly be resourceful when they want to be. Chantal had scrounged up a surf board from a cruiser here and we rigged up a wake board off of our dingy.
By using a bridal tied to a life jacket for floating line and a chunk of rubber hose for a handle, we constructed a wake board set up. The girls call this land locking. The locals got quite a chuckle watching the girls surf around the estuary. Apparently they started something. Yesterday we saw someone else try the same set up. It is a bit of a chore starting up but one the pressure is off the board its easy. Josee was the first to get up and surf around. These girls had this set up the first week we were here.

Chantal is a good boat operator and is enjoying her time here..its fun to have her here.
Genevieve enjoys meeting all the other cruisers and hearing about the cruising areas around here.
When the swell is good the kids are at the beach...when the tide is high slack they are "landlocking" and then there is school.....
