Audrey read her longest story yet tonight. That was Lesson 43. I'm looking forward to Lesson 50, when we'll lose all the Morse code and cocodrilos...


April had an inspiring chat with a friend the other day about FSBO, so we're going to give that a good try.  

Mom and Dad sent us a bunch of great boating books for Christmas: Inspecting the Aging Sailboat, Sailing Fundamentals, Adventure on the High Seas, and Things I Wish I'd Known Before I Started Sailing.  Oh, and  of course, Scuppers, The Sailor Dog.  We've been enjoying them all.  In fact we're almost already done with Adventure, which is the true story of a family who spent a year cruising from England to Maine, via Spain, Portugal, the Canaries, Gambia, the Windward Islands and Lesser Antilles, and Bermuda.  We've read the whole thing aloud to the girls, who've been eating it up.  Also, Genius Denied, which looks like it will be inspiring in our educational efforts with the girls.  Thanks guys!
