Not to pound my chest to much, but have added a new crew member to the family. Fourth granddaughter added on May 6, 2005. Everyone doing fine, baby weighted in at 8lbs 2oz. I've got an all girl crew growing. I wonder if they will bring boy friends along to help with the lines or just let them drive....? Jim S/V Java

Jim, That's great!

The name tag is a bit much though. Give her a few months on that. I would also wait until she is approaching walking to start telling her about sheets, halyards, running rigging... and stuff. You look healthy enough to wait for that. Go for the all female race team. They have sailed the world but if they bring a guy and he qualifies... let him sail too. r.w.landau

Awesome! Congratulations!

Congratulations Jim, I share your enthusiasm. I have 6 grandchildren and one more on the way. One of the reasons we picked up a Cherub 27 was because we can fit two Pack n' Plays in the cabin! We have 6 under the age of three, and they'll all be on the water this summer. These little deck dusters sure come at the perfect time in our lives, don't they? It's great! Enjoy every minute......Awesome (my six)

Looks like she'll be a great skipper

Congrats, Jim. THere are all women races all over the bay you know. (and they usually need crew). And a young woman named Ellen is one of the fastest solo sailors in the world. You'll probably be hauling your own halyards for a while. Markdb
