Many many years ago, I was at a very exclusive marina, and saw a big 65’ sport fisherman coming in to dock. He pulled up the row between docks, swung the boat around and began backing into a narrow slip. We looked up on the fly bridge, and were amazed to see there was a young boy about 13 at the controls. He turned around to face the stern, reached behind his back to grab the throttles, and slid that big yacht into the slip like a seasoned captain! Someone trained him right.

Back in the 1950s I used to go visit my uncle who ran a farm and used horses to plough and pull carts, his boys at my age 13/14 watered the horses after their days work, Then the tractor came and I was told about it driving from the train station, my heart sank as the dray horses in London were being put down and electric milk floats and diesel trucks were being used. Uncle noticed my face and said all's OK the horses are semi retired, they pull light carts and spend quality time in the orchard. Happy with that I learnt to drive a tractor a trailer, my first job on leaving school was on a farm and the farmer was amazed on how well I could drive at 16 years. Later that year The Young Farmers Club held competitions at a county farm show. I entered the trailer backing competition and came first, my boss was over the moon and got me drunk in the beer tent. Since then I've gone onto drive most kinds of construction equipment, even tunnel boring machines. Teach em young, enjoy family days out, ban the cell phone and talk to one another. Your only here once.

Yup absolutely….I was lucky enough to have an awesome Dad and Uncle who was a 20 year coastguard engineer. My uncle started me on assisting with his 16’ lund and when he felt I was ready we went to the 22’ CC and so on till I owned my own 28’…. I remember him making me take apart the galvanized winch and clean/lubricate etc…. Only twice did I ever need to “power load” this was here in Cape May during hurricane Irene and Floyd. I only did it to keep the rear from blowing out during the winch wind up.
