The next morning Brigitte was anxious to go rowing as Nikki had done.

Brigitte first try She got the hang of it fast Away she went in the middle of the lake

She was anxious to go to the Yacht Club and see the changes. Vivianne would not recognize it.

See how it has changed even from a distance The tables under the porch There is even a foyer to the club house

Brigitte was convinced she had forgotten everything about sailing.
I only had to show her a bowline knot once and she remembered.
She went sailing once holding the tiller, the next time she handled both the main and the tiller

She leaves the dock In the middle of the lake, not much wind but she moves She did it on her second day at the lake !!

On Thursday it was windy Brigitte went alone and Francis could not get the engine going.

picture picture picture
But first we had the visit of two geese with five goslings With the strong wind Brigitte was afraid of capsizing, but she never did. So back at the dock she practiced capsizing several times. But finally the sunfish turtled and the mast got stuck in the mud. Francis had to go in the water to help getting it unstuck With the strong winds, leaves got blown into Cathy and Kelly's pool so Brigitte cleaned it.
