Intermediate Opti: Week 4 Recap
On Monday/Thursday, due to a heavy southwest wind, the interemdiates were stuck on shore. They learned nautical flags, tightened their sail ties on their sails and composed sailing songs. Please refer to the lyrics of "Sailing at the WD" posted earlier in the week! On Tuesday and Wednesday they were back on the water, practicing mark roundings on a slalom course. They also practiced safely docking their boats. They are really coming a long way as we mark the half-point in the summer!
