limeyangler Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 Hello again, well, most of you know the story about my lost camera that was found and kindly given back to me after 2 weeks on the missing list. The day i lost it was the day we had just recorded an hour in the boat with our son Jack. I can hardly describe how upset i was to return home to realise i'd lost the camera with some really nice pics of our little cruise. They were so special for us because as a record of Jack's progress they were priceless.He talked about going in the "byeboat" all winter, and to see his excitement...and hesitation at finally being in the boat was awesome. last year he was not able to really even stand alone in the boat, this year he was "telling" me to go faster Anyway...yup...more pics of my boy...i love the little dood so much. Here's some of the pics from our first "byeboat" outing this year. WE BROUGHT SOME BREAD TO FEED THE GULLS....JACK DOES AN AWESOME SEAGULL IMPRESSION BTW I REMEMBER EATING MORE THAN I GAVE TO THE BIRDS WHEN I WAS A WEE LAD TOO...LOL AFTER FEEDING THE BIRDS WE SET OFF TO NOWHERE IN PARTICULAR...JACK SEEMED A BIT UNSURE OF THE WHOLE "BYEBOAT" EXPERIENCE BUT HE STARTED TO RELAX SOON ENOUGH CONFIDENCE GROWING, HE WANTED HIS INDEPENDENCE HE WAS ALL SMILES WHEN WE TOOK HIM TO SEE THE FLOAT PLANES EVEN GOT TO SEE ONE COME IN AND LAND IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE IT WAS GETTING LATE SO WE CAME ASHORE. LOTS OF 'STUFF" TO SEE AND DO STILL AND JUST BEFORE WE LEFT..A FRIENDLY LAB CAME TO PLAY TOO Hope you enjoyed the pics...we took some great videos of the day too. So glad we got the camera back....would have been such a shame to have lost those pictures! Thanks for indulging me in my proud dadhood thing again...it wont be the last time...lol.

Spiel Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 I'm glad your camera found its way home Simon, would have been a real shame to have lost those pictures.
Roy Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 Great collection of pictures, Simon. Glad you got your camera back. I don't suppose I need to remind you about data backup? Looking forward to more in the series of "Little Jack of the North" Have a great day!
rufus Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 It wont be long and Jack will be sitting beside you with his hand on the tiller helping to drive the boat. Glad you found your camera - priceless memories!
tb4me Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 Awesome Simon! I too am glad you recovered that camera. Those pictures are priceless.
manitoubass2 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 Awesome pics! That one seagull pic is awesome!
fishnsled Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 The smiles say it all. Just awesome that you have those pics to treasure. Great to hear there are some good people out there still.
johnnyb Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 Great pics....truly priceless. Lot's of good caption-contests there
Handlebarz Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 That is awesome Simon. I'm very glad to see you got the camera back with the pics intact. Now dont be a dumb A$$ Like have in the past and be sure to back them pictures up so that when you have a computer crash you dont loose them.
splashhopper Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 u can see his confidence grow on the boat from the first pics of him gripping your legs to sitting on his own
