Sunbeam trip

We traveled with the Sea Coast Mission on their ship, the Sunbeam . It was Samson's first time on it. He loved that you can spend the night in the bunks below and he was amazed at the toilet cause the switch to flush was on the wall. We learned names for different parts of the ship. Like that the "bathroom" is called "the head". I have the cutest video but can't upload it, where he is trying to remember that name and gets confused and calls it the "noggin!"

Samson at the bridge. (The wiki definition of a Ship Bridge: The bridge of a ship is the room or platform from which the ship can be commanded)

Me and Samson at the bridge. That's right, Samson, keep your eyes on the horizon (he tends to get seasick easily. Like me.) Really, though, he just didn't want to have his picture taken so he wouldn't sit still and wouldn't look at the camera. That's called SeAttitude.

Our route. From Cranberry Isles to Frenchboro to Swans then back home to Cranberry. Probably about an hour and a half ride each way.
