Annika Walks Around the Boat

I spent a good chunk of time cleaning the boat out and then brought Annika down to cruise around.
She's able to navigate the cockpit and down below area all by herself now, but still can't climb up on the seat, so we are safe for now.

When she sees me with the camera out she immediately hams it up for me.
This one almost resulted in a tumble, but she recovered nicely and said, " Uh-oh." like 30 times.


Annika's First Baby Pool

OK, get your finger off the camera lens Annika.
We hooked up Annika with this Swedish colored pool so she could splash around a bit.. it was hot the other day.
I think she's finally cooled off a bit here... looking like she's been lounging by the pool for years.
She jumped around and slashed for quit a while... she started walking and can now make it all over our apartment without falling... we are so proud.

Mike Goes Up The Mast

I know it has nothing to do with Folkboats, but it is what it is... a cool photo opp. I was hanging with Mike Peterson helping with this boat project in Alameda. I had just finished winching him up the main halyard and was kicking back on a bench, looked up and well... say "cheese!"
