Agree with all who have responded....what a great story!!!

You are very lucky and on your way to many great memories.

Reminds me of the hysterical times with my dad in our '73 Sourpuss as we fumbled along learning the ropes. Eventually, we started getting good at it and could successfully make the trek into Brooklyn with some of the day's catch for his mom (my grandmother) and extended family.

Wait till the roles get reversed and they are taking YOU out like I'm doing with my Dad now.........always in a Whaler, however.
