Kids are fun on a boat but you need to pay twice the attention, single
hand
with him a couple of times , you'll see what I mean.


I don't think I'd single hand with a child so young. Suppose I suffered
a stroke or the boat was hit by a jetski. I might venture out into the
local bay, but something nasty is more likely to happen there of
course. With Suzanne aboard we'll take him on a few good longer trips.
He won't even be two when next season ends.
I'll have to wait and see how I feel about it and how he is on the
35s5. On the Catalina 30, Galaxy 32 and Tayana 48 all he wanted to do
was hold the wheel!

Could that happen, given the fact that he's so full of ****?

Scotty,

That could be the reason he's FOS. Bumb Colon?

Heat stroke can strike anyone, regardless of conditioning. I have no
A/C in the cockpit. And suppose there's some other problem? It's best
to have one person for the boat and another for the baby!

Heat stroke?

Are you that frail?

Amen!

Nutsy,

I agree with you 100%. The baby needs a full time baby sitter on the
boat. A Harness and clip on points aren't a bad idea either.

We'll get him a harness and jack lines will always be used. He'll have
to wear a vest of some sort of course and we'll wear them to get him
into the idea. I'm not too concerned because we sail protected waters,
but we'll certainly play it safe all the same. We like Thomas even more
than the boat!

What! He's almost 2 and you havent taught him how to swim?
Sheeze kids should be all swimming by 2 and water skiing and sailing by
3.

If you have AC in the wheelhouse like on RedCloud, you would not have
to worry so much about your stroking out.

I take it your raising a yachtsman and not a sailor.
