My four sisters and me on our family boat (1967). The boat was kept in a marina in Queens and we would spend our weekends and summers boating around Long Island. A favorite trip was to the Hamptons. Sounds fancy but, believe me, it wasn't. Not with six females on board. My father named the boat "Cuidado". A shout-out my mother frequently used while a passenger in a car or boat, meaning "watch out" in Spanish. On the side of the boat my father, an artist, painted a baby bird hatching out of an egg with the beak wide open and the word "Cuidado" boldly painted. He had a wonderful sense of humor. So did my mother. Thank God. View full size.
