Hi Everyone,
Had a beautiful day sailing in Milwaukee harbor last weekend. My oldest daughter, who is seven, got good practice hoisting sail and she manned the tiller on our Compac 16. We sailed to Discovery World and tied up at their dock. It is a fun museum and it's also where the Denis Sullivan calls home. The Denis Sullivan is an authentically built 3 masted wooden Great Lakes schooner and they had free tours Saturday which our whole family really enjoyed. I had sailed on it a few years ago for an afternoon sail, which I would recommend as a great experience. They let the guests help hoist sails which was fun and interesting.
