Day 151 Part 2 - Hey is that sun?

John doing his best impression of a gondola guy

For a brief 15 min stint, the clouds had opened up, the sun was shining, and coats were off.  We even moved the folding chairs to the dock and brought out the snacks and magazines . . . and then it was gone. We were sure the weather was going to start improving so we got the girls dressed in their swim clothes and headed off in the dinghy to find our own private island to play on, there are a couple of state owned islands in West Sound.  We found our spot. Mom and Dad managed to get in a little relaxing and reading and Hannah and Haley did some net fishing and they actually caught some miniature fish and jelly fish.  Soon enough, the rain came in and we headed back to the marina just in time for the rain to stop.  we were rewarded with some of the most vivid rainbows I have ever seen. As the night fell, and the rain appeared to stop, we walked the kids around the docks to get out some energy.  We got to see an old sailboat that had been made in the old family ship yard in Denmark.   It was in terrible shape, so John really didn't want to see it. It was amazing to think that it had once been crafted by his relatives in Denmark.  We hadn't been out for too long before the rain began again and it was time to go to sleep.
