Day 4
We finally get on the sailboat. Yesterday the winds were way to strong out of the Southwest - up to 40 knots - to go to the Cape.
Last night a cold front went through, the winds shifted to the North and today we have a perfect day to sail.
Looking Out to see what there eyes can see.
We have a great trip out to the Cape and anchor in the bight. It's rather bouncy most of the afternoon and evening, but we settle in to nice afternoon.

Dinner looks good! Taylor and Mimi made a amazing dinner for us all. Pork Chops and rice!
Hi Papa! What are you doing?
Whooo hoooo! The girls love jumping off the front of the boat.
Up on the top of the light house! :)
Hey Eureka!
Group shot! Thanks park ranger for taking our picture.
Whooo its a long way up!
Taylor: Its okay everyone I caught the dinghy!
Somehow the dinghy started floating away while we were about to get in it. Luckily I was watching and dived off and caught the dingy. Yeah! we didn't loose the dingy!
OK so that was a little of an exaggeration. I was trying to make myself sound all heroic. What actually happened was I UNTIED the dingy and was holding onto it when I decided to go get a pair of shorts. I let go and the dingy started to float away... since I lost it I had to go get it. So Mimi and Anna were yelling at me to get back up top and get the dingy. I dove in and brought it back where I learned a very valuable lesson, don't untie the dinghy until everyone is on it and you are told to untie it. Oh yeah it was not somehow... I just untied it. I was not watching... I was down below... we were not about to get in... everyone was putting on sunscreen. So yeah... (Note by Taylor)
Oh my gosh! It is a long way down. Hopefully we don't fall off?
TayTay: Mimi?
Mimi: Yes?
TayTay: What's your addiction?
Mimi: CHEETOS!!!!1
The Cape has a beautiful sunset!
Chilling in the hammock!
We checked out Mimi's Great Grandpa's plaque... her Dad, Grandpa, and Great Grandpa served as Lighthouse Keepers or in the Coast Guard.
Wow!
Ohhhhh! Ahhhhh!
Pretty flowers everywhere at the lighthouse!
It's going to be a long way up to the top.
Just so everyone knows little Miss Taylor took over 600 pictures. Thankfully we didn't post them all!

Sun June 16
This morning everyone got up and said Happy Fathers day to me.
At 9:30 the Parsley's and our group all went to the Boardwalk Cafe, where the girls ate the place out of food. Then we all came home and chilled outside on the swings.
This is the last day of the Parsley's will be here and Bill and Lincoln had not seen Shackleford, so we loaded up the boat and all 9 of us took off.
The tube as we found out ended up having a small hole in it, thankfully we were still able to have fun on the tube.
The girls took me out for dinner to celebrate Fathers Day, but strangely I ended up paying for our dinner at Olive Garden. Isn't that strange? It's Father's Day and I'm having to pay.
Tresa and Lincoln go tubing first. We give them a good ride and they didn't fall off.
Building a BEAUTIFUL sandcastle.
We'll miss you Parsley's, Lincoln, Tressa, Bill, Kim and Marin
Marin has her feet stuck in the sand!
Don't flip us Lincoln! Anna, Taylor, and Lincoln ride through the no wake zone in the tube.
Anna is enjoying sitting in the tube.
Marin is a good helper when it comes to putting stuff in the boat so we are ready to go!!
Hey! Look at me.
Are you guys watching the kids while they are tubing?
Everyone is getting into the sandcastle building mood.
Note: Anna and Taylor have helped write this blog.
