you only sail within a 1/2 mile of the marina, that you still encounter
the
unexpected sometimes.

Yeah, one time a kid with downs syndrome fell onto my deck from another
boat
rafted with us. Luckily an extra fender was lying on the towrail and it
saved
what few brains he had.

I guess that could have been your son!

Actually, last night I went to see my 16 y/o son perform, on stage, in his
first live gig. He was lead guitar in a 4 piece band.

I was far more terrified than he was! But he didn't make a single
mistake!


Afterwards, he told me that he was nervous before he went on, but that he
relaxed as soon as he started. His freinds were all there, and he played to
them.

He didn't hit a wrong note, - and I had to restrain myself from telling
the people that were seated beside us, that the lead guitarist was our son.

Afterwards, I saw many of his friends congratulating him backstage.

I hope that you come to share my pride in due course.



Regards


Donal
