Ditto.

We have a Key West 23 CC with pretty high gunnels and I've almost gone over while plugging in some pretty bad chop. My 6 yo son stays sitting down and holding on when we're moving and when we stop to fish, he understands that he has to be careful because the boat can move suddenly. I don't think it would be any issue if the gunnels were lower. It's all about teaching them to be safe and keeping an eye on them.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
