Charlie de Luca Park July 21
The US Sailing Center's (USSC) - City of Miami Parks Sailing program began with a visit from fourteen campers and three counselors from Charlie Deluca Park. Coach Pat Downey, the executive director of USSC, welcomed them at the building's entrance, sharing insights into the center's history and purpose. On the second floor, Coach Ella, a US Sailing Level 3 certified instructor and the new youth sailing head coach of Team Paradise, took over with a safety briefing and a chalk talk about sailing on Biscayne Bay
Despite light winds, they had a wonderful time sailing to the sister banks, just southeast of the Vizcaya Museum. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience for all.
The boats used were two RS Ventures, the propellerless Safety boat, and the Boson Whaler coach boat.
