Author : Himring
Fandom :  Unfinished Tales
Rating : G
Characters : Elendil; Inzilbeth, an older female relative of Elendil's (also mention of Amandil, Elendil's father)
Disclaimer : Elendil, Inzilbeth and Amandil are Tolkien's characters, but this incident is pure invention (originally by Fernstrike, who supplied the prompt)

Summary: In Elendil's childhood in Numenor, his father teaches him to sail. Elendil's first attempt is not an unqualified success!
