Default A Sailing Problem-Kids and Lifejackets

What about those swimming classes? Kids wear a life jacket in them and he
should be used to one by now and know what it does.

Amen!



Thomas had swimming lessons and is quite the swimmer now. Still, the
water here is in the mid 50's so he'll wait a month before dangling his
tootsies off the swim platform.

Thomas remains tethered at all times while we're underway via his own
jack line to the pedestal guard. He's also always with an adult. He's
very safe, but we want to instill the right message early. We'll be
sailing again later today...so we'll see if maybe he was just overtired
yesterday....which is what Suzanne thinks.

So far Thomas loves the boat!
