If you were visitng Perth, Australia a couple weeks ago or are lucky enough to call it home, you could have watched these young people race their boats just off the beach.
One of my scrabble buddies, who I met online, lives with her hubby and two children in Perth. She is a teacher, has irish ancestry as I do, and as it's summer right now, they are busy with summer activities. Her son, Ian, captaining the boat with the orange spinnaker, has been racing since he was in grade school, from one side of the country to the other, plus crewing in a race in Spain. It has been fun hearing about their life in OZ, especially the fact that they can eat their Christmas dinner out in their backyard !! I hope we continue our scrabble games and friendship for a long long time to see how far and where his sailing takes him.
