My Dad had a huge 72 foot yawl in the carribbean and apparently, there just weren't parking spots near floating docks for this beast. so getting on and off was just a nightmare for me. same with boarding from dinghies. of all the great memories I should have about that period (very young) the most vivid is having to jump the 15 foot chasm from dock to deck.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you got over the fear, we'd be one less great blog in the world if you hadn't.EVK4https://www.blogger.com/profile/02797338920913749383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105989.post-59450917568866920932007-10-05T19:50:00.000-07:002007-10-05T19:50:00.000-07:00Sounds like a great plan. Would you believe that m...Sounds like a great plan. <BR/><BR/>Would you believe that my earliest memories of sailing actually involve a lot of being absolutely terrified? <BR/><BR/>Lucky for grown-up me, it seems that little-kid me never let on to that - I don't know if my dad would have made me keep going out at the start if he'd known that the little Widgeons that are the first boats I recall being taken out in scared me as much as they did. Didn't like that whole heeling thing at ALL & did NOT want to tip over. Shoot, now just try keeping me rightside up on a nice day...I would have missed out on so much if my Dad had given up on making a boater out of me. <BR/><BR/>Good luck with the fighter-jet distraction scheme!bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.com
