[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1680303, member: 16453"] I am very proud of Brayden, he is very resourcefull, a good driver, can handle machinery safely, can fix anything that I have not had time to attend to myself and he will often tell my wife "that is something Kenny showed me". So far he has not chosen a career path but that will come. At the moment he and his sister are full time sailing, they are on a "Futures sailing scholarship" with Australian Sailing which is part of the Australian Institute of Sport and are sailing the Olympic class 470, so who knows, maybe the next Olympics. They are starting to get to a high level, on the weekend Brayden jumped into a 29er as crew for a fellow who's crew could not make it, they won the regatta winning 5 of the 7 races and 2nd in the other two out of 10 boats. Luke the skipper would not normally have been expected to win. Brayden is becoming a specialist crew and along with his sister just have a feel and know when a boat is sailing fast and what to do to make it go fast. I think this is all to do with how we have encouraged them with things in general, give them a bit of information and knowledge but then let them loose to work things out for themselves, the farm background here has been a great opportunity to do just that.
