My father brought home a sailboat （帆船） when I was ten, and almost each Sunday in summers we would go sailing. Dad was quite skilled in sailing, but not good at       . As for me, I learned both before twelve because of living close to Lake Ontario.
The last time Dad and I set sail together is really            . It was a perfect weekend after I graduated from university. I came home and              Dad to go sailing. Out we set soon on the        lake. Dad hadn’t sailed for years, but everything      well with the tiller（舵柄）in his hands.
When we were in the middle of the lake, a       wind came all of a sudden. The boat was hit hard. Dad was always at his best in any       , but at this moment he was       .
“John!       !” he shouted in a trembling voice, with the tiller still in his hands.
In my memory he could fix any problem. He was the one I always      for power and safety . Before I could respond, a      of water got into the boat. I rushed to the tiller       it was too late. Another huge wall of water      the boat in a minute. We were thrown into the water, and Dad was struggling aimlessly. At that moment, I felt strongly protective of him.
I swam to Dad       and helped him in climbing onto the hull（船壳）of the boat. On sitting on the hull, Dad was a little shy about his flash(瞬间) of      . “It’s all right, Dad. We are safe now,” I comforted him.
That was the first time Dad had depended on me in a moment of danger. More importantly, I found it was my turn to start looking out for my father.
