Absolutely right. In fact, before he came on bord, I bought him a small sized one that has the "keep the head out of the water thing" and a handle, but somehow my kid was not inside it!!!
Sorry about that. Can't tell you why he wasn't wearing it,and have no excuse. If it helps and trying to redim myself we sailed 2 months with him and he allways wore it when outside.
You and the Dad were there and your critic was not. Don't let others impugn your judgment so easily. Most mothers handle their children with utmost care and deserve the benefit of the doubt.
Giulietta is the name of my wife and my boat. LOL.
And yes she does handle him and my other 9 year old son (that races in optimist), very carefully. We are very lucky that God gaves these 2 boys, me in particular because one will be my helmsman, the other will be the bowman!!!
By the way, after checking with my wife, she remembers that, that particular day was too hot and the baby was crying because the life jacket made him unconfortable. So we took it off. She felt it was ok, because we were doing only 5kts, the sea was calm and there were 3 adults with us.
I let him the wheel and after 1 or 2 minutes, he just fell asleep!!
That shows how confortable my boat is!!!!LOL
One more thing, I am now wondering if people now will stop being nice to me, because I am a guy!!!
Love it, nothing can match the joy brought by our children! I fully understand about the childs lifejacket, I'm sure that child will never be as safe any where else, as when in the arms of his father. So where is Dad's life jacket?
We will have our first grandchild on board for Xmas. I think this may be a very special time of life.
