Father's Day could not have been more perfect for Tom doing what he loves with the people he loves (minus one uncooperative family member). I need to start by saying that we have not been on a sailboat together since the fateful day back in 1997 when our little September sail went bad with a mishap tack and a tipping over of our boat... but I won't even go there. Even though there was a moment where my heart skipped a beat when this boat leaned pretty far over, Tom assured me that we would not tip over and explained the dynamics of it (as a good engineer could) so I was relaxed. Juli never really completely chilled, but maybe at some point. Tommy embraced it as he does with any water sport. He was hoping to try kiteboarding but that fell thru so this was the next best thing and he was in it all the way raising the sail and coming about with the jibe and all that. sailor-in-training. Juli was doing her best with the steering (tiller!) but had a serious look on her face the whole time - kinda like when she's driving, but not quite as happy. All in all... a fun little day in the barnegat bay.
