   Congratulations! I suspect a ceiling hung kayak would make a great crib. DWM

   Congrats! Teaching mine the ways of the water is one of my great joys. I'm sure you'll find the same please.

   But... I must warn you about that ceiling-hung kayak. I did that for my daughter and she keeps falling out. perhaps somebody here can tell me what I did wrong.

   I must apologize for my diction. That should have been cradle. My folks had enough of the stay at home baby stuff and at the ripe age of 2 months took me on my first gulf stream crossing from Miami to Bimini in their 23 formula. I was hooked ever since. So if you want a respo

So if you want a responsible kid keep him as far away from boats and water as possible. Otherwise since he is a spawn of Penguin Man you know what to do. Enjoy the ride and hope to see you EC 2017.

    Congratulations, Jim and Elena.  What a long cry from last March, the Everglades Challenge, and the nightmare of Nightmare.  Bet you can't wait to have him as first mate.  Best wishes for a great future.

    Congratulations Jim and Elena!  An amazing journey awaits both of you as parents!!!  What a blessing for Mateo to enter this world as an Infant Skunkworks R&D Marine Engineer!

    I have found that my kids fell asleep the fastest when I pulled them along in the surf and waves in my kayak in the shade of their sunhats.  Other nap inducing trickes were Van rides in the car seat while playing Primus and being held on Mommy's chest.

    As WaterTribers, our gear should serve multiple uses and Jet Boil is a great parenting tool.  I used my Jet Boil on long road trips to warm water for baby formula.

    The pictures of the three of you are amazing!
