For Thursday, we planned a beach day at the Bay with a small bit of instruction on sailing. Mark and I (Elaine) have a small Sunflower Snark, a single sail 11 foot long vessel just the right size for an adult and a couple kids.
The day was a bit overcast at first, but with a nice bit of wind to really make the Sunflower scoot.
Mark started with some water safety training and basic knowledge about how sailboats work. My favorite was his demonstration of the life jacket.
After that, it was a typical beach day with sand and water fun and regular trips around the bay in the boat. I don't think Mark spent more than an hour on land all day.

We headed out when the summer camps started taking over the beach, which was right about the time we were all getting tired anyway.
