Having made some new sails for a spare red pirate ship I had, I persuaded Junior to come on the beach with me, to sail it....
We set off with him carrying the ship while I carried the camera. Part way down the beach he realised that his avatar who was holding a fishing line with a fish on the end had dropped the fish he did try to look for it but it really was like looking for a needle in a haystack - could you spot a silver fish here?
We found a large pool close to the sea and Junior set the boat down - unfortunately knocking the plain black flag off the top - the only one I had - into the pool. Again we gave up looking for it due to the presence of crabs scurrying around and the fact that the sea water had come over the top of my wellies!
However when it did eventually get in the water the ship sailed well...
My avatar was steering and Junior was fishing, however he nearly fell overboard so my avatar steered the boat to the side while Junior secured himself to the rigging for safety...
Then it was off again ...
It was a lovely evening so they put the anchor down for a while while we played with Mitzi our collie .... notice the faithful ship's cats on deck (Skypurr stayed alert all the time but Cynda was asleep as usual!)
The light was starting to fade and the giant sea monster Mitzi made the sea a bit rough ...
So it was time to sail home ....
And go and empty the wellies and wring out my socks!!
Elaine and Junior
