Captain Zack

In mid June, we picked up our 17-year-old grandson Zackary for a week of sailing on Tellico Lake.  This was the first time Mary and  I had him to ourselves for a full week.  The winds we less than exciting but Zack was able to learn the fundamentals and sail a bit.  He even passed a final exam by transporting Nana across the lake and back.

It is such a joy to spend a little time with the next generation and to discover that although they are addicted to video games and Ipods, they are, after all, just kids wanting to have fun.  Show them something new and after a bit of time, they take to it like ducks to water.

Maybe we can get Zack back next summer for more lessons and more wind.
