It's going to be late. Worse than that, it's probably going to be greeny-grey . . .

This one passes all H&S stringent tests.

My Grandson looked at last months lady on the pulpit and said it was dangerous. He is 4.

Bloody indoctrination by his Nanny no doubt! No wonder they call it a Nanny State. :D

I had to work really hard to get my kids & grandkids doing stuff that their mum's & nan's called dangerous. 8)

Actually, nothing to do with Nan. Its all down to Mum.
She doesn't want us to take him on the boat for a 3 day cruise in July in case he gets bored and throws himself overboard.

Well, a bit of MoB practice would certainly add a little excitment to the occasion. :D

We always put ours in a harness & life line unless kept below. On passage, set 'em up in a bunk with a load of their toys/ colouring books or DS - whatever turns them on. We used to use clear perspex wash boards if the weather was iffy so we could see them & they could see us.

Bring 'em into cockpit as you arrive, or you see seals/ dolphins/ basking sharks or whatever. My son was the best bouy spotter I ever had, his eyes were far better than anyone elses aboard & he loved being first to "spot the bouy".

The other thing, is I have a twin keeler so beaching was always popular & you could just let 'em run wild with instructions to return if you blow the fog horn or they are hungry!
