Giving Tree 2019

Image
On this Christmas day, we're thinking of M., 5 and R., 3 and their family. Also, the "homeless teen" and another family receiving a couple games. We hope these gifts are meaningful (i.e. thought/love behind them) and appreciated. But even more than physical gifts we hope they enjoy special times together that provide memories and shared experiences that last a lifetime. That's the best Christmas gift. Just as Jesus "dwelled among us", the most memorable and meaningful gifts are the times we have spent together. Thank you for participating with us in this giving. Giving Tree Stocking Stuffers for homeless teen Giving Tree family games One classic game and something else... Giving Tree tags for adopted family Games for the family of four Several "poop" themed games - not chosen Hot Wheels selected by these boys for the young boys Everything for the family of four including blankets, snow gear and grocery gift c...

Except when they're wrong and succumb to pressure and personal bias... Tillerman is at it again with another assignment. Last time, in response to his request for Worst Sailing Mistakes , I posted a story about my Protest Shoe . Overall the response provided many funny stories and a few intense ones. Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt (emotionally or physically) in the making of these stories. This time the assignment is Top Race Committee Screw Ups . First and in general, these (for the most part) volunteers to a great job. We couldn't have fun racing without them. The good ones run a race or regatta in such a way you hardly know they're there. On the other hand... they do occasionally make mistakes. In a regatta on our local lake, we were racing on Sunday. IIRC, the points were quite close. We were setting up for what was likely the final race of the regatta. The committee put up the course label and the sequence was rolling. We made sure we new the course, studie...

Little League Sailing

There have been a few posts out there in the cyber sailing world about coaching from the sidelines as it were... When kids race solo (or single handed), they're sometimes followed around the course (at various distances...) by a parent. Such support boats shall now be referred to as Mommy Boats . The thoughtful parents follow at a distance. There's no yelling or obnoxious coaching. They're there in case of an emergency (meaning the boat is swamped and the kid has trouble righting the boat type of thing... not a "YOU NEED MORE VANG" emergency ). Not all Mommy Boats are as courteous and thoughtful of others... Imagine all of the little league parents being able to following their son or daughter around the field giving direction and "encouragement". Sometimes it's bad enough when they're relegated to the sidelines. My approach is to be in the same boat... racing together as a team. I'm sure this causes some problems too. There are just so...
