What I did this Summer….Sailing on Catnip

We don’t always get to spend as much time on our little sailboat as we would like but this year it got closer…
Catnip went in the water at the beginning of June…

Sometimes we drop the kids off for a swim at the beach…IMG_5052-1
Sometimes we meet up with friends…

Sometimes we go out in the evening…

and stay for the sunset…

Sometimes I take photos of boats, birds, shoreline, buoys, lighthouses…

What delightful photos! Can you feel my envy from NH? I do hope you get some autumn sails in. Bring along a small pumpkin or two for a photography session ; )
