Almost a century ago, Arthur Ransome wrote children's book "Swallows and Amazons". Father being away at sea, mother telegrammed father to gain permission for the four kids (eldest 13) to sail and camp on the English lakes. His response "Not duffers - won't drown." Preparation for Imperial responsibilites I guess.
