Grandson Weekend

Ah yes, trying to make him into a future sailor. Being almost 5 now he is so much more fun to have around the boat as he is always wanting to help in what ever we do. Saturday morning was wash day for the boat and as usually he wanted to hose. He almost got our neighbor Bob wet as he got a little carried away in seeing how far the water could squirt. Friday we had to go up the White River in a dingy trip as he got to help run the motor and steer. Glad no one was in the way as there was no such thing as going in a straight line with Jay driving. We had a full day of swimming as he is now finding out that his new life jacket will hold him a float.

Saturday we ended up going out to Lake Michigan and anchoring and swimming. Water was 65 degrees , a bit on the chilly side. But we managed for a while then returned back to White Lake and anchored where it was 78 in the water. Both Jay and grandpa were tired after hours in the water.









Later that night there was a going away party for some friends Dean & Katie that use to have a boat on our dock as they are moving to follow Deans job. They will be surely missed on the dock by all. Sunday was a busy day as well as more swimming and dinging around White Lake as the winds were around 25 kts most of the day.
Sunday was also a day Grandma took him up to a local shopping place that everyone loves. He hit the jackpot with her as he came back with new toys and a new sweat shirt.
