[Rhodes22-list] Words of music for fathers ear

[Lowe, Rob]

Eric,
I think you have every right to be proud. Your son sounds like a heck of a sailor.  It's always good to get the next generation into the sport.  Sounds like you have taught him well! - rob

Hey All,

Don't post much because y'all have all the answers! Read everything!!

My sixteen year old son's statements after winning the Atlanta Yacht Club's Jr. Championship on Saturday sailed in Lasers.

Music to my ears.....

"I was just feeling the angles to the lay lines every race"

"It seemed like I got lifted on every tack"

"I could see the wind shifts really well"

A bit more bragging and I'll shut up. 3 firsts in run away races, one first in a close race that he one by coaxing the leading boat into 10 tack dual! And a second place in the 5th and final race because the whole fleet ganged up on him. 

Thanks to the list for all the helpful tips over the years!!

Eric J.
