Who would have believed that day 2 was as windy as day 1….we thought we would only manage a half day covering the theory ashore and would have to return to complete the sailing skills required for Stage 1 and Level 1.<\/strong><\/div>\n
After an initial short briefing from Steve, apologising for the weather, we all went to get out Picos and Toppers and the ever faithful Wayfarer, planning to get on the water in every ‘lull’ in the wind.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Well it worked! Everyone achieved the necessary skills to achieve Stage I and Level I, despite some (OK, a lot) of capsizes and some amusing incidents – not least Monica walking backwards along the jetty pulling a Topper and issuing instructions to Sylvia at the same time, only to step straight into the water!!!<\/strong><\/div>\n
Adrian had his group successfully sailing a triangular course in the slight shelter of the island, while another group practised their skills in the Wayfarer and, flushed with success, Rod capsized the monster boat in full view of the clubhouse! Quite a mission for Richard and Brian to right it and get it ashore.<\/strong><\/div>\n
The youngsters enjoyed their paddling races and the towing with lots of laughs and smiles, despite Anuska’s Topper capsizing. Sylvia was brilliant in the Pico taking those not to sure they could sail alone, backwards and forwards.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Steve and James in their dry suits did sterling work turning boats around and sending them off again.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Hot chocolate was ready in the clubhouse thanks to our many gophers – thank you guys.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Everyone was delighted to see Tracey and Amy arrive armed with galley stores – chocolate was down to 4 Twix!!<\/strong><\/div>\n
All the books were handed out, thanks give to all the instructors, safety boat drivers, helpers and of course Steve who kept us all in order while helping wherever he could.<\/strong><\/div>\n
A great day despite the weather – well done everyone.<\/strong><\/div>\n
