Congrats Chase, now maybe, you can teach your father to read.... he still has trouble with the words that have more than five letters... We're not sure he's teachable...

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.

Brian,
Great news about your Son Chase.
As a Dad, I understand the absolute pride you are feeling now.
As the days go by and the odd frustration comes along, dwell on that feeling you got when Chase came home with the good news.
Wow, Chase deserves a box of Sees candy, and You and Mon too, for all the hard work.. Congrats to ALL of you , Job well done.. ;-)
and Please dont forget the Pics..
those of us that are Liveing serepticiously through your Posts, need them :-))
Traditionally, the coins are to be silver... as payment for Charon's ferry should the ship sink.

Come on, Ray - I need to know what I get for my money!

Hey Brian, what great news, all of it. If you can believe it, I just saw this thread now. I can't tell you how happy I am for you and your family. As everyone has been saying, please do keep in touch. And if you decide to venture up the coast to the northeast, please let me know. Not only will I give you what little knowledge I have about cruising these parts (and they are truly extraordinary from May through September), I'll find you places to stay and I'll take you to dinner (I know this great BBQ place).
In the more immediate term, we'll be in the Abacos for a week in February, in case you manage to get there during that time period. Let me know, and we can try to get the families together on the water.

Commonly used are coins ( any coin ) that have special meaning to ya (example: minted in the yr you were born or the yr the vessel was first splashed ) just don't use 5200 to secure the coin in place or use sums to hard to make change, that tends to piss the ferryman off
Best of luck to ya CD, sounds like a good time so far

My son, Chase, got 6th place in UIL Public Reading! Now, that may not sound like a whole lot, but Chase has a speech impairment. He has been in speech most of his life (and still is and probably will be for a long time) trying to learn to speak correctly due to a mechanical defect he has had since he was a baby. SO, for any kid to make UIL is great. But for a kid with a speech impairment to place in UIL (1-6th place makes the team or whatever) that is really awesome! I am so proud of him. It really marks a great step forward in his progress. Only 2 kids in his school made it (4th grade), and he was one.
Pretty cool, huh???
Brian
Spoken like one GREAT Dad, a dad that is making plans to go sailing! Congrats to Chase and to the fam!

I have always gotten a Silver Dollar dated the year of the boat's launching...

Thanks Dan! I will take you up on that. I do not know where we will be in February, may still be FL, who knows?
Let's stay in touch.
