Landing around the I/J/K docks at Sunrise Cove Marina
You'll likely want to bring a small folding chair to sit on

Happy sailing!

Hey

Don't know how young your kids are - ours are almost 5 and just turned 1 - and age makes a difference.  We're on a lake, so we're limited when it comes to distance and docking at night is always an option.  So is the promise of ice cream at the local DQ    The PO left a TV with a VCR onboard which motivates the older kid to be good during the day (I knew there was a reason to collect all those Disney movies!).  We always bring a big box full of toys.  The older one likes LeapPad and that can occupy him for hours.  Also, we invested in some good water guns - they are both entertaining and refreshing.  The baby is much harder.  He's only just now getting big enough to fit in the smallest infant life vest we could find.  I have strapped him to me with a Mei Tai in the past, but I have to have a life vest on underneath to past muster with the GA DNR.  Previously, we could gate him in the V-Berth or aft cabin with a bed net, but now he's just too good at climbing.  We have a portable high chair that we strap in the cockpit to put him in during "high stress" times like leaving and returning to dock - he may be screaming, but at least he can't go anywhere. 

Wow - this was my first post!  We've only had our 34 since April.  I'd love to take this chance to tell yall how much we've learned from these boards.  We're looking forward to many years of family memories.  Now, all you that have raised kids while actively sailing - what happens when they outnumber you?
