I can see why the father would shadow the boat - his son is very young - and he will have wanted to encourage his son, though I do question his judgement in following so close, since it may appear to devalue the achievement.
It seems to me that Timmy's comment here serves to disprove one drawback that Marc pointed out: if the object of father and son were to gain glory and renown I don't think the father would have shadowed his son so closely lest it devalue the achievement as Timmy says. I think that the father was motivated entirely by fear for his son's safety.
I still think that this was one hell of an achievement.

The paradox has often been noted that the United States, founded in secularism, is now the most religiose country in Christendom, while England, with an established church headed by its constitutional monarch, is among the least. (Richard Dawkins, 2006)
