So at the CSC we had been thinking for a while now that we should try and get a picture of the whole fleet on the water. And last Thursday the wind was blowing about 5 knots and it was sunny and warm out so all the instructors decided that at 3:45 we would all bring our boats together. Several of the water front coordinators came out on the water with
cameras VASS brought their boat in and even Kate and the Burlington Free Press came sailing in through the mob of boats. As 3:45 started no approach the boats started to trickle in. Sara and Craig’s class came down from lone rock, fallowed by Aidan’s level twos who were all on the same tack in a big line fallowing him looking really sharp, then Robert and my class kind of swirling and capsizing in to the front of the CSC. Eventually everyone made it we had just about the whole fleet of boats sailing in one big mob in front of the wave attenuator. And all I was thinking was man this is crazy! So everyone with cameras started running around the fleet taking pictures from every angle they could. It lasted for about 2 minuets, and then everything started to fall apart. Several Bicks capsized. And all the instructors at the same time just turned their boats around and headed in to the swarm of boats. There several close calls but in the end no one was hurt, no damage was done, and we got some good pictures of the fleet.
