Williamsburg on Sunday
Sunday morning …
My niece ran off to be with her friends (as is should be) and my nephew went back to George Mason. My sister-in-law had to go to work to take care of some things.
This left the three sibs to find something to do. Jim thought we should put his Bayliner into the James river and tool around for a while. Naturally, I forgot my camera.
We were in the James for about 90 minutes. The water is just a bit salty as is mixes with the Atlantic into which it flows.
To say I resisted the temptation to have Jim pull me behind the boat on an inner tube would be giving me too much credit; I had no desire at all to be pulled behind the boat and get slapped around by the water. I had to drive the next day and water is a lot harder than it looks.
After we were done playing in the James River we took a look at the sailboat Jim recently bought. The sailboat is really sweet but I don't remember any of the details about the boat other than it has a couple of beds, a couple of tables, a head, and a sink. I don't remember how many feet long it is or how wide it is (is that the beam?). It's in pretty good shape but Jim wants to do some cosmetic things to it before he puts it in the water.
Sailing looks like it might be a bit of fun.
