The lanyard is beside him/behind the throttle. There was nothing irresponsible for telling him to give it hell and to hammer it. We were in the middle of nowhere with no boats anywhere near us. There was absolutely nothing he could have done to put us in danger, even if he hooked the wheel as fast and hard as he could.
Wo, Wo, Wo,
Don't get defensive... I didn't mean it that way at all.
Actually I was trying to make a joke of the people that WOULD have jumped on you.
I think what you are doing with your son is a very cool thing. I think too much of this country tries to wrap kids in styro-foam untill they are 18.
And, not that I think ANYTHING you were doing, or saying, was wrong.
You were being a cool Dad, and teaching him things he needs to learn.
You took this entirely the wrong way - too bad you can't see the look on my face when I make comments such as this on-line, if we were in person you would have understood the joke immediately.:biggrinjester:
Sorry, my fault - but lighten up.
Here's my Daughter at almost 1-1/2yr. This is in my old Baja. About 8 years ago.
Still has the sippy cup on the dash.
But, she was ready to slam the throttle
