Every day should be Mother’s Day because most of us sailors were probably a handful, and yet we somehow ended up okay. Well, at least most of us are okay, some of us are still a handful. Mothers do a lot to foster who we become as adults. If the mother in your life is a sailor, she is probably raising young sailors who will learn to love the ocean, protect the environment, and cherish the sailing lifestyle.
This Mother’s Day, give a gift that says you appreciate her.
