July 17 - 19, 2007

Well kids have arrived. Went to Cow Island in the Bay of Islands. Ella did christen the boat on the way there. Explored in the dingy with the two new captains. Warm day and evening. The next day we headed for the Benjamins. Hot and sunny. Met up with Mike and Debbie Brady and Lisa and Jim Brady. Lori, Danny, and kids went for a walk on the flat rocks to burn off some energy. The winds picked up that evening. Storm warning. The next morning the skies turned black and we were ankle deep in hail. We were safe tucked away in our little hole. The winds stayed high but we decided to make our way to the marina so the kids could go to shore.
