It so weird seeing Aidan at the Sailing Program, doing the same things Chris and I did as kids and then Chris oversaw as an instructor. Â He is having a good time. Â There have been many tipped boats, but he is comfortable by himself. I think he likes the math in it all- the angle of the sail, the direction of the wind- its what he is interested in learning. Â I think he could do with out some of the kids who have no interest in sailing and only in causing trouble- but those kids existed when we were there.
One night recently he participated in the Wednesday night races. Â He did great! Â It did end with him tipping though- he says his boat got swamped. Â There was also a dance- it had an 80’s theme. Â Oh how I remember those.
He’s got a nice tan now and he is looking forward to the annual tradition that ends the summer- the shaving cream fight!
 Me and Chris one summer at sailing- I think he was an instructor (maybe 1996/1997) and us there to watch Aidan race this summer.
