A pal invited us to help crew his sailboat for a sailboat race on Saturday. Griffin and I have zero knowledge of sailboat racing but he was a wonderful teacher and we finished 9th out of 11. Most of the day was just enjoying the scenery and the gentle rocking of the boat. Race seems like an inappropriate word for how laid back the whole ordeal was. As if the day wasn't lovely enough, when we arrived back at the harbor we were greeted by a keg of the local brewery's beer!
Our boat: Nereus, god of the Nyriads (water nymphs, if my Greek mythology is correct).
It was a cloudy day so you can't really see the mountains in the background.
Not our boat but certainly photoworthy.

That is one of the coolest names for a boat ever. Tickles my mythological fancy.
