Thom's visit to Treasure Island

[DouglasW]

Thom found an old treasure map hidden at the bottom of his wardrobe. His Grandpa noticed that pirates were not very good at spelling.

We set off for Treasure Island and Thom used the map to find the way.

All good treasure hunters come equipped with a spade!

Thom used the map to find the rock with the crack in it. Then he found a flat stone with an “X” marks the spot on it.

It looked a great spot to start digging.

"I've found an old box!”

It’s got TREASURE in it!

Look it’s Marshall from Paw Patrol and a Milky Bar!

Just turned off the TV, feeling totally depressed after all the doom and gloom on the news.

Came to my favourite forum and saw this beautifully heartwarming thread.

Many thanks for putting a smile back on this grumpy old face, Douglas.

Thank you Roger, I am afraid I am full sibling to an ostrich, I have stopped watching the news.

Thank you Paul.

This is actually Thom's (age 4y) second boating season.


He started last year aged 3y, the same age as I started. This is now my 60th boating season

That was an awesome idea!

Thank you gwozhog and 9-R. I love the technical aspects of boating, sailing, windsurfing, kayaking etc. as much as anyone but at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter how you get yourself on the water. What is important is having fun and Thom sure got a load of fun that day.

Amen to your post Douglas
Regardless of the watercraft, enjoy your time on the water, have fun, be safe and respect it
Every minute spent on the water is an on going learning curve for me, hence why I enjoy it so much
