Eli’s version of a Sleepy Sail to Napa

Eli – Age 9

Last week we sailed our boat up Napa River. We needed to get it hauled out so we could paint the bottom before the really big crossing.

We had to do this so the barnacles would fall off because this special paint comes off in layers so no creatures could attach to our boat.

On the way to the river I got a bit seasick and no one even told me when we went under some cool bridges because I was sleeping. We got there at night. The next morning we motored to the place where they would pull our boat out of the water. It was almost time to get lifted and they never knew my mom and I were still on the boat cleaning. We had to jump off really quick.

The best part was we got to go to a friend’s house for 4 days. They had a paddle boat and sailboat. They had a 3D TV and there was LOTS of extra space. I was kind of happy to be back in my bed on the boat even if I have to share a cabin with 3 people.
