Very cool Jon. I love seeing the young ones given that opportunity.
I don't know if the kids here at the Tahiti Yacht Club are at risk but
they are totally involved.

When we brought Arabella back from the yard we were guided in by the
mother ship full of new sailors. The kids, about a dozen of them on
board, never said a word and watched patiently as the sailing
instructor helped us put Arabella in her berth stern to easily.

Here's a pic of the kids hanging on to the "mother ship" being taken
out to sail their little boats.

Sail on,

Cool... it always brings a smile to every adult who sees this happening.
