Community Life - Part 6

I promised to talk about some of the things that we as a community enjoy doing together. Several years ago, my husband, who was raised the son of a commercial fisherman near the Gulf of Mexico and loves anything to do with the water, decided he wanted to learn to sail. He and Matt decided to go to Kemah to sailing school. They did go to the school in Kemah and got their certification. For a few years after that, we would rent a boat out of Kemah at least once a year and take a week long sailing trip. Being more of a day sailor myself, I never went on these longer voyages. The trips were mostly made up of men and teens. Our own children were teenagers at the time and always looked forward to these trips.

A couple of years ago there was much research done to find just the right boat and several of us went together and bought a sailboat. The Sonsey, is an Alberg 30, hull # 200, and she really is beautiful. We have had a lot of good times aboard her together, sailing, fishing, and snorkeling. 

There are many ways to enjoy God's creation, this is just one of them. Not only seeing creatures that He made, but feeling the power of the wind and waves and knowing that He controls them. So thankful that the one who controls the elements is also in control of our lives.
