Amen.
Good post George. My sixteen y.o. daughter goes out on boats with friends... social, social, social... she's never even been on my boat. But all the boys know that her dad might as easily be on the water as he might not, so they know who I am, and what the boat looks like. Her twin brother likes to fish, but not as much as he likes his sleep, after a late night playing that GD XBox.... He also tends to fall asleep on the boat or not feel well at anchor.
Time is a tough thing to get at their age, never mind their splitting time between two homes. All we can do is expose them to all that we can, and support what they take joy in.
