Beginner Opti- Week 6
On Tuesday, the Beginner Opti sailors were treated to freeze-pops as they sailed to the Galanis' house on the river. They practiced steering as they dodged the beach ball from the instructors. On Wednesday, the Beginner Opti sailors successfully sailed all the way to the ocean! They were focusing on downwind sailing and recognizing low-tides while sailing out of the river. They only had 2 kids per boat and they have been use to sailing with 3-4 in a boat. Way to go Beginner Opti :)
