We were a little uncertain how much actual sailing would get done with Lyell and Mason aboard.  But with some encouragement from their mom, they were great sailors - generally asleep when we were out on the water.  Here is Jules sailing us up the Drake Passage.

And Stuart sailing us back.

Teri got her time at the wheel as well!

Mason did make it up for a little of the action - we think that he will make a fine first mate.

As opposed to his beefy brother, who is destined to be a "winch grinder" or "rail meat".

In general we sailed for a couple of hours a day.  We had some days when it was reasonably windy (in the BVI around this time of year, the "Christmas Winds" provide this generally calm area with a little excitement).

And of course there was plenty of time for some quiet affection as well.
