At the Helm

Got this pic from Pumpkin yesterday.
David's dad owned a Thistle sailboat.  They raced on a local lake.  Winds were unpredictable and lots of times it was just so darn hot.  It did not matter, John thoroughly enjoyed it.  The Big Guy was touched by this picture wishing he could share the pride with his dad.  Unfortunately, after John's TBI, the communication is not the same.  Very grateful for Pumpkin sharing this pic.  We haven't heard from him too much on this trip.  It is so tough sitting here and not really knowing what he is doing or where he is.  Not to mention we don't know all the lingo.  I guess he is conditioning us for the fleet.  Anyway, this photo hit the spot.

Love it!! It is heartbreaking to know his grandpa doesn't understand but it must be in Pumpkin's blood! I always miss being on the water here at home.
