Alec joined the sailing club team to sail for 24 hours for charity one weekend in October. All the kids took turn sailing all through the night, from 2pm Saturday to 2pm Sunday. Alec's shifts were 4-6 pm, 9-11 pm and 4-6 am. Tough going especially in the dead of night when the wind died off completely. However he saw the sunrise over the bay, ate a huge breakfast and stayed awake long enough to find his team had won by 4 seconds and collect the prize. We helped raise $30,000 which gave the team a real sense of purpose. Their average age was 9 years old- a great achievement for them all. Oh, yeah- the adult teams did well too!
