Arjen's first windsurfing lesson

With the beginning of summer, comes weekend day trips to Sherman Island (Rio Vista) for windsurfing.  So far this year, aside from the Gus, who is just too little, the whole fam-damily has been out on the water!  Woo-hoo!  

Me, suited up and hanging on for dear life

Arjen really liking it

"More please!"

Of course, as soon as I set the camera down and turned away, then he fell in.  It's probably a good thing I wasn't watching, as I was using a decent amount of telephoto lens for these pics, standing across the road by the truck where Gus was sleeping, and was too far away to have been able to do anything. I'm told he didn't freak out, and when I did turn around, the only apparent difference was just a wet water baby who still wanted more!  He wouldn't get out of the water, despite shivering and blue lips.  I think we have a little fish on our hands!
