I'm not so new anymore but back when I was new here's what happened: after three days of "teaching" my sixth grade son at home, I realized our relationship would never recover from an entire year of math worksheets, English lessons, and the feelings of frustration which marked the end of our, admittedly few, days. So this blog documents our first year of unschooling--the good, the bad, and the better--and then it just keeps on going...

Sailing On An America's Cup Yacht
Early on in our stay in Auckland we spent a few hours on an America's Cup Yacht. I'm forever trying to find activities that will spark an interest in Jerry. He hasn't started begging for sailing lessons yet but we did have an amazing afternoon of sun, sea and wind.
I thought the America's Cup Race was a really long one but it actually only takes a few hours. A few hours of working those grinders would be more than enough for me--grinding is really hard work.
We caught this view of the city between the two volcanic cones of Devenport.
Hey, look who's driving the boat!
It's Jerry!!
He took us past Rangitoto, the big volcano.
I took a turn at driving the boat, too. Whether or not Jerry is interested in sailing lessons I think I'll be signing myself up for some when we get home!
