In years past, Team Paradise used to take a break from sailing in Miami during the weather wise unpredictable summer months and instead focus on regattas in other parts of the world. This summer was different. The phone has been ringing and we have seen activity like never before. Wednesday Night Racing ended on July 13th and I thought that was it for the year, but the Biscayne Bay Cruise and instructor training continued.
The month of August was busy, too. I never thought that we would run a youth camp, but we did and it was a lot of fun. As it turned out, it was a preview of what YogaSail offers. We had three siblings between the ages of 9-15. The kids didn't have much sailing experience, but they could all swim. We started out using the Sonar, but that's not a magnet for kids. Instead, we used Shake-A-Leg Miami's Sunfish fleet, paddle boards and wind-surfers. We did Yoga at the Aum Home Shala in Coconut Grove when lightning and thunder prevented us from being on the water. We also provided a drumming class for the kids which was a lot of fun. Check out the collage below.
