Learning the Ropes

These youngsters seemed to be having some basic training at the yacht club as we passed on our walk this morning.  Another cool and gloomy day, spitting with rain from time to time.  Went to croquet this afternoon not expecting to play because of the weather but another seventeen players showed up so we played until tea time.  It dripped and drizzled on us and finally the sun put in a half-hearted appearance.
