You can never have enough...

Ahh, the beauty of being raised by a Scottish soldier who thought I should be able to look after myself lol! Very handy later in life. My Dad was often in trouble with my Mum though over his child rearing philosophies, particularly after he sent me out across the Manukau Harbour shipping lanes on my sailfish to see if I had really grasped the art of boom and centreboard . I was eight...

He admitted years later his heart was in his throat the whole time I was out there, especially the bit where I grounded the boat on the mudbank, got off and walked it round to sail back. Sting rays love mud banks but I didn't know that then.

I didn't know lots of things. Just as well too...
