On the Delfin

I have a good friend from college who, when we get to Seattle, we make sure to spend a good amount of time with. My daughter is enthralled with the whole family – Christi, her husband Dan, and their son, Grant. Needless to say, we like them, too! Here are some photos from the first part of our Seattle trip – where we got to spend the night on Christi & Dan's boat and then go sailing with them the next day in the Sound.

Seattle-0171
As with all friends of photographers, Christi & Dan were thrilled that I was taking pictures of them!
Seattle-0181
Here Dan does something important looking. I think he just wanted me to take more pictures of him!
Seattle-0210
My daughter was super psyched to be actually driving the boat. She still mentions it as her favorite thing about our trip to Seattle.
Seattle-0215
Here she is looking proudly into the camera. She did a great job of learning port and starboard! (And my wife and I were worried that she might feel sick or not like sailing. She passed out on the way back, easily sleeping while we were heeled over.)
Seattle-0346
Just a little boat art. I loved the sun trying to peek over the sail.
Seattle-0436
Don't they look regal? Their family of 3 lives on the beautiful 42-foot Halberg Rassy. 
We had such a great trip and so much fun hanging out with Christi, Dan & Grant. We can't wait to go on another sailing adventure soon. Thanks! ~ Doug
