Make sure that you guys get out at least a couple of times before subjecting him to a week of racing.

My dad decided he wanted to race with me at a little local race. It was only about 18 and pretty flat water, but he managed to do a full Peter Pan followed shortly therafter by a trip over the front between the beams when I inadvertantly hooked a crab pot going down wind. There he caught his foot and was held under by the water pressure untill I could manage to get the boat rounded up and stopped. He lost his new sunglasses and hat before falling the rest of the way in. Demoralized and winded he then had to edure being bodily dragged back into the boat because he could not get himself back on. Back on the beach he has now vowed he was not going back out with me again.

Woops - Dont let this happen to you (In announcer voice over) But at least at GYC there will be pleanty of Rum
