i've raised three kids who seem bright and intelligent enough. but i still cringed when two took a road trip to connecticut and back. can't imagine them going round the world like that--alone! that's the main thing...all alone in that huge expanse of water. that vastness would be enough to bring a seasoned sailor to their wits end. hell, i raised my kids with a lot of knowledge of history, including llewelyn the great who went to recapture his welsh lands at the age of thirteen-but even he had help.
