Yeah, I did, probably more stupid. I was reacting to the "great sailing" remark. BTW, once when I was about seven, I snorkeled about mile out to sea on Cape Cod Bay. I was lucky not to have been hit by a pleasure boat, but CC Bay was a lot less crowded in those days. I certainly scared the bejesus outta myself. I calmly figured that I got myself out there and I could get myself home and I did. Lesson to self: always know how far you are from shore and have a course for home.
You did that at seven, did you tell your mom and did she tell your dad,yeah that was stupid.Nonetheless kids inadvertantly do stupid things not knowing what they are getting into, give em a break and thank goodness they are safe.
