Today is Memorial Day and we remember the servicemen and women who fought bravely for our country and we appreciate those that continue to protect our freedoms today.
It is also the first day of the Catalina 22 National Regatta at Fort Walton Yacht Club, Florida. After dad discouraged the boys from dressing up as pirates and raising cain around the other sailboats, we all gathered around dad, laid our hands on him, and prayed for his protection and God's wind in his sails. This is dad and skipper Mike Zavison's first national race.
With two people on the boat, they placed 5th in the first place and 7th in the second race. They asked me to ride with them tomorrow since they needed more weight and extra help. Although they lack the expertise, they were glad to learn and gain experience of the national race. Dad was exhausted when he came home, but was looking forward to another day of sailing tomorrow.
