Default Re: Growing up Seafari

Some say that a boat is "a hole in the water....." and pass it off as little more than an expense. Your Grandfather was wise beyond his years because he realized, either consciously or unconsciously, that that hole can be filled with memories and lessons that are difficult to create in other circumstances.

Your honoring of your Grandfather is a testament to his wisdom in knowing and accomplishing the filling of that hole with those experiences that are more valuable than any expense they may have cost. Thanks for sharing, it is yet another lesson for all of us as we look to follow your Grandfather's example.

We all wish you and your family the strength to get through this most difficult time. God bless.
