Some friends of ours from Finnly's playgroup and us rented a sail boat for the day. Sean, one of the other dads, is an excellent sailor and was our captain. Erik was 2cd crew... lucky for us, because he hadn't sailed since he was about 10 in Cape Cod. This boat was a 38 ft Catalina... and was the real deal. I braved the wind with 2 toddlers and a 6 month old... the toddlers both had monkey leashes on, which I've never used out of embarrassment... but on this day, it was NEEDED. We had a wonderful time sailing out in the bay and then anchored down by the Santa Cruz pier while enjoying Tied House beer, and lots of yummy snacks. Midway through the day, the rocking of the boat had put Finn into a deep sleep...and Erik and I got to breathe easy for a while.
