My Father built me an El Toro sailboat when I was nine years old.
The Father of President Kennedy bought him a sailboat when he was a boy.
Our Fathers were responsible for our life long love of sailing.
President Kennedy said the lessons he learned sailing enabled him to survive World War Two as a U.S. Navy Captain.
The lessons I have learned sailing have enabled me to survive the attempts to silence me and Wolfy.
The last night President Kennedy was alive in Houston, Texas he made a drawing of the sailboat his Dad had given him - it was the last thing he ever put to paper.
He had the weight of the world on his shoulders and would have been surrounded by powerful people who all wanted access to him but it was more important for him to remember his Father and the sailboat he had given him as a boy.
Like all true sailors he knew what was important in life, which was his love of sailing, which like me he a credited to his Father.
President Kennedy sailed this sailboat his entire life and I have sailed the sailboat my Father gave me my entire life.
President Kennedys sailboat is now on display on the grounds of the Kennedy Library.
