Donna throws a preserver out to the kids, just in case, during their evening swim. The current in “the narrows” can sometimes take you up or down stream in a real hurry. No swimming when it’s that fast, but the kids know to swim towards the beach without panicking. We’ve had them practice this “maneuver” a few times.

Earlier in the day Christy made a nice dive off the back of uncle Jeff’s boat. Even the passing Coast Guard was impressed, and they announced a score of “9” over their loud speaker. Christy, who just helped write this post, was thrilled.
