Now that I own a boat, that means I am not only a Scottish Lord, a blacksmith, and a minister, but I am now a captain too… among other things!

The dismount is always the tricky part… and we all know the Russian judges grade harshly on those dismounts…

Oh man, we had fun… and pay attention to that sign behind me, it will come up in tomorrow’s post… which I will try to do, before I start the new posts about my next blacksmith class… which is tomorrow…

Mollie loves the kayak too.

We took it out together, and I got those cool pictures of all the jellyfish you saw in the last post… but I didn’t remember to take any selfies while we were both in the boat… which isn’t like me at all… but I am not supposed to show pictures of Mollie where you can see her well, so maybe that was what stopped me.

Mollie is a pretty good paddler… wait… what is that across the bay? It looks like a rocket taking off from the water. I guess you will have to wait until tomorrow to find out.

I did remember to have Mollie take a bunch of pictures of me… surprise, surprise.

Yeah… we all know how much I love pictures of me…

There is Mollie, relaxing in the kayak. We decided to name the boat: ‘The Mollusk’… which is funny, because that is what I call Mollie.
