Reliving the surf days...mini style

So, way back when, Jake used to drive boats for a living. After Joanna was born, for his first father's day, I bought him this little mini r/c 44 ft. motor life boat. He had to have it. Fast forward 6 years later, Jake's a storekeeper and it was still sitting in the box down in our basement. Unused. Actually, we've never really had a good place to try it out and he's much happier not driving boats anymore, thank you very much.

Anyway, there's this little lake here on base that I realized in one of my daily flashes of brilliance (Yes, daily flashes. I get them. Ask anyone.), would be perfect for sailing this little ship! So, Jake busted it out, dusted it off, charged it up and we were off! It was pretty fun!

Careful, don't run aground! We'll have to call the Coast Guard. Hee hee.
Joanna's turn!

Hmm. He's up to something, I think.

My handsome husband. He's good at counting stuff and driving r/c 44 ft. motor lifeboats.

Setting sail

Don't fall in! We'll have to call the Coast Guard.

Hey Joanna! Smile!
