maiden voyage

Monday the Davis boys ventured to the farm pond to cool off for a bit.
They were extremely excited to set sail in the new inflatable boat Dawson received as a birthday gift.

Unfortunately, the strong winds that afternoon were quite powerful and took the young sailors by surprise. Their small vessel was carried south before making landfall on the pond dam shore.
Never fear!
Captain was determined to stick with the planned voyage and fought his way across choppy water, shouting commands at his younger officers. Dawson was scared, scared, scared and debated abandoning ship.

Once back to the dock the youngest sailor planted 2 feet on dry land, happy to observe the maiden voyage of his new ship.
