This week at the sailing center has been a great one. the wind has been blowing every day so far. Today we did 420 rides with the kids. That was a blast. Two of my kids went from being petrified of the 420’s to absolutely loving them and wanting to go out every time I got back in. It was great to see that transformation. It really goes to show how staying calm and having fun can really affect everyone else around you. As an instructor it’s great to be able to have this effect on kids. The look of pure excitement on their faces is priceless. I remember one kid telling me how sailing today was better than The Great Escape. He was describing how it was more intense because there was a chance we could capsize. I enjoyed that. I hope that the rest of the summer can be as great as this one.
