I knew this day would come. They are well trained and well prepared, but not sure I'm ready for this.

My daughter is 23, just graduated college, and son 21. I've had them behind the wheel of the boat and basically in all aspects of boating, boarding, surfing since they were old enough to see through the windshield. So this summer they have a group campout planned with friends up on one of the mountain lakes and the question came up about them taking the boat - without the parents. Mostly, without me.

They've made runs before without me, but never launching and loading and being completely on their own.

My daughter is probably the best captain I know, my protege, and my son is right up there as well. I'm not worried about them being reckless or crazy showing off for their friends or using poor judgement. (at least I don't think I am) I'm more concerned about any mechanical issues that may come up and how they would handle it. Or other idiots on the water causing problems.

Anyone else in this boat? LOL What would you do, or not do...
