So this week started off with some great wind. On Tuesday, I was able to take out a group sail from a Barnes Elementary summer camp. It was interesting to see some kids who have never sailed before learn and explore a Sonar for the first time. We had a lot of wind that day and we were able to have a lot of fun and sail out near Lone Rock.
On Wednesday, we took out group sails with the Vermont Adaptive program from the Howard Center. It was cool to see how comfortable this group was on the sailboat and how quick they were to adapt to a new skill and try steering and working the jib sheets. There were some really cool kids in this group who, despite being hesitant, were willing to get on a boat and go sailing outside the breakwater. There was not as much wind but we were still able to go fast enough and have a good time. So far it has been a great week and I am looking forward to the next few days.
