Default Babes in Boats

My seven year old navigating a channel nearly 1 mile long with various turns. I never touched the stering wheel.

About at Kellys 4 miles later, still have not touched the steering. Time for dad to wake up and dock. In a few years she'll be asking for the keys. She has almost no fears of driving a boat and is always concentrating on the task.

That is really nice. She should be one heck of a driver some day.

My daughter is eighteen now, and she has been my best backup driver. Of course she had a good instructor.

Thanks Mark

Awesome, Good for her! It's best to start early, she seems confident like a natural!

Are you lookin to adopt another kid...I don't eat much and can mow the grass and do laundry. Just kiddin around. It's great to start them early, you never know when there might be trouble and need to be taken in (Like when you slip while reaching for a coldie).
