Today we took Ken and Carol Larson sailing with their grandchildren. The weather was perfect for taking young children out for their first ride in a sailboat. We let each of them take a turn at steering the boat.

They were thrilled to be able to steer the boat although we had to prop them up so they could see over the console. There was enough wind to take out all sails and manage almost 4 knots. They were impressed with the Los Angeles Skyline for more than six miles offshore.

We returned to the dock after about four hours of sailing.
