sailing

Jay is out sailing right now on Lake Champlain. I was unable to go along, though I am an experienced sailor who would have helped out. I am disappointed that I was unable to be with Jay on this big day. It would have been great to be there, but the trip leader didn't want me along. Oh well.

Camp is colder. Winter seems to have snuck in this week. Still, we had yet another great day off to explore the Adirondacks. Sierra hiked her first peak, called Owl's Head. Then we skinny dipped at a waterfall called Cliffords. She kept looking for Clifford the Big Red Dog. We told her it wasn't that kind of Cliffords. Lunch was soft serve rasberry ice cream at Donelly's on the sunny grass. We spent the afternoon at a beach on a big lake. There's a nice 15 minute hike to get there, and the beach was full of clams, which Sierra enjoyed collecting.

Tomorrow is the big end of camp slide show, which is emotional and fun. After that, it's back to Honolulu.
