When the phone rings and the other end of the line asks if I want to take a couple of my kids sailing on a big boat I don't say no.






To be honest, when I said, "yes" I had no idea what we were getting in to. Something about a boat going out from Fort Myers Beach.










What we'd agreed to was a two hour excursion on the Privateer Lynx, an incredible teaching replica historic tall ship from the War of 1812.
