[Rhodes22-list] Kids and Sailing

[Robert Quinn]

Roger:  You have got to be one fine "Dad."  Both of our "children" - now
adults in their thirties still look forward to getting out on the boat.  Our
daughter is fine on the tiller out on the water and ditto our son; however,
both get timid around the dock.   Probably my fault for not letting or
encouraging them to "take her in."  Oh well, one day.

Will try harder with the grandchildren!

Bob on the "NoKaOi"
