Please leave the baby with grandma.....for me?

All grandmas are dead, alas. My sister and my wife's brother are 40
miles away and we don't have a car...we have a boat and a nearly paid
off mortgage because we don't have a car G and we intend to go
cruising while still young, or in my case, youngish for cruising.

You do what you can, Larry. My kid is learning to swim this year and
is very agile and safety-conscious on the boat, as are we. Is the
danger of being on the boat balanced by the danger he doesn't
experience being driven ten miles a day in a big city? Can't say, but
for now, he comes with us and we sail as safely as we can.
