i retired off the ships the summer of 88'. i became a mister mom and have not worked since. the two guys in the cockpit are my son and his best friend. they both have sailed aeolus starting at age 2 and sailing every year for the next twenty. diapers and life jackets all the way to collage grads. they never missed a year. dude with white hat grew up on the shore in sturge. his people owned the big ship yard back in the day. his father was a ship, tug, sail captain and top sail racer on michagan and green bay. the white hat guy drove tugs for a while up in the aleutians as a young man. then became a top 'high fashion' photographer living in miami beach and traveling the world. the cool thing was that in the summer the fashion scene went to new york and he would come home to sturge. and sail with me, and others. the girls forward are my son's wife who's job is to look beautiful. she is coming along. her childhood while delightful, was very protected. the other gal on the bow is my youngest daughter same as the others. started summer sailing at 2. so, yeah. no directions are given anymore. no need to. they were trained by me to sail as i do. it is sweet
