I almost put this in the Cafe because it is
a true story!!

I have been teaching kids to sail for almost
40 years, been at it my self for over 50 years.
I asked students to bring the following things

notepad
pencel
sunblock
release from parents
hat
lifevest
lunch
bag of marbles

notepad: for writting down notes
pencel: for writting on the notepad
sunblock: protection from sun
release: protection from lawyers
hat: block glare from sun
lifevest: required by law
lunch: I'm not feeding a bunch of teenagers
bag of marbles: everytime you learn something
you throw a marble in the water! when you've
lost all your marbles, you're a sailor!!

1.How many marbles should the bag initially contain?

2. I'm told I lost my marbles years ago.  Am I a sailor?

Somewhere between 50 and 100

You are a sailor!

Sailing is like flying except you have one wing
in the water!!
