Wow, that is a gorgeous area! I love all the fall colors.

I bet you love living there.

Is that where JoJoe Teaches math? Now to the BOAT! NEET-O! Where'd the Skipper go to Sailin School? How BIG (long) is the boat ... got sleeping bunks or a galley aboard? We need a pix of the whole boat!
And - WHERE are the REST of the Crew? Don't the Furry Kids get to go sailing?

Yes, Phred, that's where he's teaching now. He voluntered to be one of the sailing instructors when the new classes come in, so he took sailing classes thru NAPS. The boat is a Rhodes 19. It's 19 feet long. No berths, no galley, just the basics. And nope, no 4-footeds allowed on the NAPS boats. But we regularly pass up other boats with furry crew along.

We also went out on a racing sailboat, I'll upload pics & get them attached to this thread in a couple days. And I'll attach a few from the Tall Ships Festival - very fun!

Math and Sailing ... interesting specialties!

No 4-Foots, huh?

Good ole "Navy Regulations"!

Must be because they found some 4-Footers couldn't *Salute the Colors* when boarding.

Wow, with sailing to do and the other things you have posted, it must be hard to miss Findlay! Glad you are doing so many new and interesting things. Great pictures!
