Bill & Anna invited us for a day of sailing on their yacht ' Sea Zombies' which is moored in Kemah, south of Houston. Jackie & Chris also joined us and we had a wonderful afternoon on the water after lunching at The Lighthouse on the boardwalk. We did have little rough patch where I was on one side of the boat practically touching the water and Anna & Jackie were on the other side practically touching the clouds - a little scary although I constantly reminded myself that Anna promised the boat could not tip over. Of course when the steering failed my confidence sank (which of course is better than the boat sinking) and I wished I was on the Queen Mary instead of a 37ft yacht. Captain Bill had everyting under control of course, fixed the problem and in a very short time we were back on course...
It was a particularly hot day (high 90's with high humidity) and John and I had walked 8 miles really early that morning with Houston Fit so after a day of sailing we were exhausted and hit the bed early feeling tired but happy after an exhilarating day - thanks Bill & Anna.
