Learning to Cruise is about making mistakes

I was drifting about this AM, coffee cup in hand, and came across this discussion on Rumble. It is a story shared by a 3rd year Law student about his sailing learning/adventure. He has taken classes from the college Sailing Club. He learned to race on a lake in the dinghy fleet. Stepping out of his comfort zone, he suggests to his twin brother that they should get a boat and cruise from Florida to Massachusetts along the ICW. While discussing this idea, his father listens in and says... "I'd like to go with you." "Ok dad, but I am the captain. I know the most about sailing."

What could possibly go wrong on a Tartan 30 that they buy....

The story starts at minute 13 in the video.

Sailing dreams are a discovery.
