Intermediate Opti- Update
This week the intermediate opti class is focusing on upwind/downwind sailing. On Wednesday, they sailed all the way downwind to rock island, where they got off their boats and explored the ocean. They were on the look for Great White sharks as they have been avid Shark Week fans. They then beated upwind all the way back through the river to WDYC. The instructors were very proud that they didn't need to be towed once! Way to go :)
