Thanks everyone! Totally forgot about Uno, Yahtzee and the other classics. Been trying to teach them some basic card games like war but that doesn't last too long. Think we will be looking at getting a simple laptop and trying to rig up a mount for it for movies. I definitely don't want them on electronics while out, but a movie would be beneficial when things get a little haywire for the wife and me. Family time was one of the main reasons for getting the boat in the first place. We've tried fishing, but I'm not in any way skilled with that. I think we need to change some of our lures out to get any kind of success there.
I am trying to teach the oldest things and get her involved. I do need to start bringing my 5 yr old son into it as well. He's starting to ask to go sailing now too so that's a good sign. My wife is not a sailor and I'm still trying to convince her of the benefits and quality time and experiences that can be had. So far it's been mainly me sailing and her taking care of the kids. So there hasn't been much in the way of GOOD experiences so far. We are going to try our first overnight this year just us first. Then bring the kids on another trip. Fingers crossed it goes smoothly. Thanks again for all the suggestions. Kevin On Wed, Apr 12, 2017, 9:04 PM Matthew L.
