The image loads at the bottom of the email (it was nearly lost from view) so I shortened up the email history (removed the storm clouds) and changed the subject line to reflect the current discussion.

You need a T-shirt or a hat that identifies you as the captain, not that it will matter.

I've enjoyed seeing my grandson, who is now seven, take to sailing since he was two. Of course, he considers himself the captain anytime he steps on my boat.

Hey Jay and everyone else who has passed a love of sailing to the next generation, or 2, what greater joy?  And as Chris C described, it is a good time to appreciate those who passed their love of the sea onto us. I know there are a number of you who one day said “I’m going to learn to sail. You deserve recognition too. Anyone out there who wants to share?  On a side note, ENOSIS gets trucked down the mountain and launched on Monday.
