I'll submit Jimmy Buffett. Because who doesn't have something of his on their playlist?

I feel fortunate to be in the background of a celebrity sailor's photo (right over his left shoulder
)

You're a lucky man. I know you're proud of her. And, congratulations on your expanding crew! I haven't quite made grand dad status yet, but it looks like fun. Branding my first son-law very shortly though.
Now, about your cutting edge sense of fashion... (Just kidding - you wear it well).

Those videos remind me of a brisk sail I had last summer with the family. All I can say is, I wish son#3 had remembered to flush the heads before we set out. I can confirm that the floor of the X heads compartment is watertight.
