Making Memories with our Mac.

Post by MARK PASSMORE »

Just thought I would start a thread so folks can post a few photos that they might be proud of.

A few of my youngest son from this week. He loves to fish.

the mooring is in less than 1 metre...Only a :macm: will fit there...Good Eh!.

The mesh netting is my answer to the messy birds...and works 100%

The furler is messy here but has been sorted...apologies. And the area is Peppermint Grove,
Mosman Bay, Swan River, Western Australia. On a very nice day.

My youngest, he had just passed his USPS safety training course and had also just gotten his US Sailing small boat sailor certification, so he was seriously ready to take the helm.

OK, I can't resist joining this thread. Great idea, Mark. 8)

Here's my favorite photo of our youngest [a 27-year-old police officer in South Florida] doing his "serious helmsman" impression during a visit with us last summer.
Image

And here's the Admiral, clearly enjoying being in command as we power back up the Bohemia River to the marina at sunset during season one.
Image

And the Admiral, again, hard at work creating a privacy curtain to replace the head door at the beginning of season two.

Not if you have ever watched him clean up the kitchen or ask him to unload the dishwasher. Now when it came to sanding his boat, he went till his arms ached ....... actually he has really come through for me since my knees quit, it is no fun being the gofor but he does it with good humor.
