Much Grass to you both, (as they say in Tijuana these days.)
My son and I took my mother, seventy-something sailing the other day.
Later she sent me part of a book she is reading. A quote from the story
is perfect description of my wife's attitude to sailing. The relevance
here is, I may never make these glorious Potter trips. This sounds like
my wife:
"Although she went in bathing and splashed around, close to the shore,
she regarded swimming as an unnatural and mysterious feat, and she
deeply distrusted the water. … Sailboats were always tipping over,
Mother said, or else being blown out to sea, or striking holes in
themselves by dashing against rocks, and then sinking straight out of
sight."
