Bainbridge regatta
Hazel raced in a sailing regatta on Bainbridge Island this Saturday and Sunday!
There’s a lot of waiting when you’re part of the Green Fleet (new racers)
But also a lot of boat time
Green Fleet completed 12 races over 2 days on a triangular course. Here’s a shot of Hazel crossing the finish line first (far right, sail number 22772)!!
De-rigging is a whole thing
But there’s still time for lots of sillies (here making faces with her friend Elly in the background)
One of the Green Fleet coaches saved us from a selfie and took this real one
And sailors are even FED on Saturday after the races!
Second day — getting rigged and bladed
Brief huddle with the coach
Then…time!
To!
Sail!
Later, let’s not forget the sitting-in-boats-and-chatting phase (so fun!)
Pretty great experience overall

Slugs are hot
Slugs are too hot to touch at NW Trek?
Ohhh! These slugs
A “Gesundheit” caught on camera
Waiting patiently for her tube to float

Movie Sunday
We went to the movie theater for Barbie today
And Landry gobbled up Grandma’s blackberry pie

Ollie!
We saw Ollie today!
Who is THIS unidentifiable man of mystery?
Later: backyard pool in a golden glow
Reusable water balloon bonanza!

Sorting and sailing
Lego sorting with two kitties
Hazel is back at sailing camp, this time in a two-handed boat (here attending to the boat on the far left — dark lifejacket with light long sleeves)
Rolling the sail with today’s sailing partner
He caught me watching him watch

Madison Cascades
Lovely little stroll through the woods. Stream crossings were surprisingly easy
Landry led the way, there and back
And ultimately we had the Cascades area to ourselves
Later: a little thunder in the distance? Ok, we’ll josh around on top of the water instead of within it

So! Much! Swimming!
We’re swimming every day here
The kids are experimenting with floating, sinking, bubbles…
Wacky positions
And are also staying cool
