Participation is back up again as the kid gets more portable. <img src=

JW, what age (approx) is this so I can mark it on my calendar? I had to push my anticipated schedule back somewhat, partly due to crew still being overseas.

The good thing is she's taken to swimming, and if I can get her comfortable wearing a PFD (not water wings) before she can walk, she'll be in line to grab a tiller before she can run... <img src=

Dude - I got her this really cool Speedo suit with built-in flotation. At 3.5 yrs, she is taking the tiller on the Wave. <img src=

Got one of those suits for my daughter as well! Haven't tried it out yet though. I am light as it is and her 24 pounds isn't going to be enough for my light boat !!

3.5 years and at the tiller. That is excellent news on an otherwise bleak day. 1.5 years to go.. My wife will never belive it <img src=

We travel to 3-5 regattas a year, but that is never less than 8 hours of driving away. Otherwise we participate in around 20 wednesday night races + 15

real

regattas where we can sail to the starting line.

CRAM (Michigan) runs ten regattas a year, and I try to go to all of them. Add a Nationals once in a while. Your description is exactly what CRAM does. Kids, dogs, frizbees, and motorhomes.
