Simon & Sophie flew all the way from London, England to join us for a week of sailing (we met while we were all living in Moscow, Russia). They definitely brought the UK weather with them because it rained for about 3 days straight! At least they are used to it ;)
We were suppose to sail from New York City to Oyster Bay, NY, but the weather was horrible. We ended up anchoring in Port Washington instead. Lucky for us, one of our favorite friends from Houston, Emily Gardner, was visiting her parents who live in the area. Therefore, she picked all of us up (including the dog) to attend a party at her parents' house. Since all of our clothes and linens were soaking wet, they even let us their dryer :) Liz (Emily's sister) and Todd were also visiting from Houston, so we got to spend some time with them as well. We even found out that Liz is pregnant :) Congrats to them!
Jared insisted that we buy a Royal Navy flag to fly while our English friends were onboard. We gave it to them when they left.
Morgan LOVES dingy rides, and she sometimes jumps in it without us knowing. Here she is waiting for a ride:
Simon caught his FIRST fish while we were sailing in a heavy storm. It was quite hectic trying to get the sails in, but this was the final result:
