Heart of Gold is still sailing of course and her crew has been having
a blast.

With Thomas about to turn four we've been spending more weekends on
the boat and making short trips.

I don't believe it. You're blaming Thomas!!
You always only made "short trips".

Next season we plan to make two week-
long trips.

I've been away for three years and you are still telling
us that you will make a long trip "next year".

The great news is how much he loves the boat. It's among
his favorite activities, so I feel we've done a good job in making him
part of the fun. The sacrifice was short sails and fewer nights
aboard.
Now he demands to go sailing!

I'm not surprised. He probably doesn't consider
your half a mile trips to be proper sailing.
Why should he? Nobody else does.



Cheers, everyone! As the 2008 season here wraps up I hope you all have
gotten some sailing in.

Seriously,its nice to see that you are enjoying
life. Until Thomas is 12 he will give you nothing
but happiness. He will then spend the next 5-6
years taking it all back again.




LOL, Donal. Everyone says the same thing! I'm in terror of the coming
years, but as you said...he's a joy for now and we're soaking that up
and giving him more than we ever had. Even the worst days are great.
