.......kids?

We have 2, both of which are hard core boating addicts.

Our 21 year old is in her last year in college. She grew up on the water,
loves boating, fishing and generally being on the water. I got her hooked
on fishing when she was about 11 years old, spending the day taking perch
off her line and rebaiting it......I think she caught (before limits) 50
yellow perch that day (we ate all of them). She never had any interest in
operating our boats other than our inflatable. She continues to love the
outdoors and nature and is dating a guy sharing the same interests.

Our 18 year old in his first year in college. He also grew up on the
water (since he was an infant). He is a licensed boat operator, taking
(and passing) the Power Squadron classes last year. With my help he has
piloted our 32 footer and now our 20 footer. He will be taking our boat
out in his own next summer after some one on one training. He is a
health nut and runs 3 miles at least 6 times/week. He also grew up on the
water with us on our boats and has kept a high interest in boating.

So how about yours................................?
