Reasons to smile!
Today was a beautiful day for sailing on Biscayne Bay. The warm temperatures and moderate winds made it a pleasant experience. Although the kids from the Camillus House Verde Gardens housing project couldn't make it due to transportation issues, we had good attendance from both coaches and our regular students.
Coach Josh led the intermediate group, sailing the RS Fevas as usual. The rest of us stayed with the beginners in the RS Ventures. It's interesting to observe how the beginners are improving and catching up to the intermediates and how some intermediates are becoming skilled enough to belong to a more advanced group.
The two groups separated pretty quickly as we sailed across the Bay to Key Biscayne. The RS Venture is a faster boat, and it points higher. We basically pointed at West Point, so why not sail there and visit the sandbar? As the pictures and video below will tell you, we did. In general, it was like a summer camp day!
Special thanks to our volunteer staff! Today would not have happened without you!
