Sail la Vie!













We bought a sailboat! It's a 17 foot, 1982 Vagabond named Sail la Vie. We bought it off of Craigslist for a great deal! Mindy's parents split it with us so we thought the name was appropriate. It sits in a boat slip on Lake Hefner (:15 from our house) and it's considered one of the best lakes in the country to sail on b/c it sits on a hilltop and is always windy (particularly for Oklahoma!) It has a pretty blue sail that we hope to get pictures of soon. Neither one of us really knows how to sail ...yet! But it's really not that difficult. We hope to take lessons but so far Travis and Mindy's dad have had no problems figuring it out. Our first time out, the 4 of us christened it with a bottle of champaigne. It has a small cabin where you can sleep 2 people but it's a tight fit. It's nearing the end of boating season, but we hope to use it quite a bit next summer. Come visit! We can fit 6 onboat and we'll bring refreshments.
