Finding our Sea Legs

The Phelps love to sail.  You might even say we're sailing fools.  Yet somehow we hadn't managed to get the girls out on the Floating Illini until the very end of their second summer.  Sure, we couldn't find life jackets small enough last summer.  And ok, I guess we've had a busy summer.  So finally, the weekend before Labor Day, Poppa and Grammy welcome the Phelleher Phour aboard.  Despite some concern that the girls would hate their life jackets or being on the water, they instead proved that they, too, love to sail.  Aye, aye, Mateys!
Sailing by committee.  Sage (L) and Lucy (R) help Poppa sail.

However, despite great encouragement, Lucy does not want to take command of the ship.
