Celina and daddy paid a spontaneous Memorial Day visit to Falmouth, ME, to help break in old friend Dave Talmadge's new boat "Moonshine" Celina had an absolute blast on the boat, enjoying the proximity to the "blue ocean" (it was actually a channel in the Piscataqua River, but close enough).
While Dave encouraged us to try water skiing, we settled for the more innocuous inner tubing option. Basically, Celina and I got in an inner tube, attached to a rope which trailed the boat, and the plan was for Dave to drag us gently through the water. Of course as soon as he thrust the engine, the boat lurched forward, and Celina and I were capsized, both of us plunging into the 55 degree water. I started screaming like a little girl, while Celina remained perfectly calm, and eventually we were rescued and brought back to dry land for PBJ and turkey burgers. It was a great adventure, and helped us get our sea legs for future excursions! We hope everyone had a great Memorial Day holiday!

Celina makes friends with Captain Dave...


... and this is how we ended up off the coast of Greenland...

Ummm, yeah, this beats watching my little brother spit up every five minutes...

Well this is one way to keep hair out of may face...
