You've worked hard and made your father proud...and deserve a new Opti.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Good for you, Fred! I am sure that your dad is even happier to be coming home!
Enjoy your holidays!

I hate to tell you this, but your dad has a surprise for you. The "gift" of your new opti...Well he is bringing you a small hatchet and some chisels. You get to go into the woods, find the right log and then spend three weeks hacking and hollowing out the hull (while existing on nuts, berries and whatever you can forage in the forest. I understand that roasted tourist tastes quite nice).
Your dad thinks it will be a good right-of-passage for you becoming a Man.
That was very mean of you... that was supposed to be a surprise... the hatchet is more than Fred really deserves...I thought Giu was going to have him make a stone hatchet to do the work with.

I spent 7 months in Brazil when I was about 8...I spoke fluent Portugeuse for a while...but like Italian, german and even my native born Russian, it has atrophied through lack of use. I now find I can go from understanding one word in ten...to every other word in about 30 minutes of listening...but I still sound like a slow moron when I try speaking it. Oh well.

And I was not being mean...If I offered my son a log and some chisels he would be all over it with a huge grin on his face!
Merry Christmas, I'm glad that you are happy and appreciate what you have and enjoy sharing with others. Keep up the hard work and we hope we can follow your path to the olympics! Feliz Navidad!
