@neauoire one bright spot (that makes no difference to the overall trend), Asher has done a couple of sailing camps and was asking for a sailing dinghy, so I was an indulgent father and bought a Portland Pudgy + sail kit.
Now he has to teach me to sail it.
@avi that's amazing, lucky kid! And galiano is a wonderful place to do this at : ) Maybe someday Asher will be waiting for you at the cabin after made it there by sail : )
