Bishop Family
Sailing Trips

 

We have chartered with the Moorings  (www.moorings.com ) for all of our sailing trips and have been very well satisfied with them.  

 

Shannon, Sara, Jefferson, and John, pulling up the dinghy to go ashore.
Sometimes it storms at sea.
Bishops, Neills, Wenngatz's, and Henshaws in back of the the boat in Australia.

Sailing trips provide some scenery of matchless beauty.

Jefferson at the helm in the BVI in 1998.  Each of the kids were "Captain for a Day" on that trip.

The very first sailing trip in 1987 with the Neills.
