Finished the last week of our summer sailing camp. Gone are the whining
little kids. Gone are the 8 hour days of dinghy sailing. Gone are the bikini clad assistants. All in all it wasn't bad, though this session was the worst. 80% of this sessions kids couldn't (or wouldn't) sail when they arrived. Turned them all into competent sailors. The mom of the biggest whiner gave me two cases of Dos Equis for getting her son to get over his fear of the water and sailing. -- ---- Steve S/V Pony Express |

If it rains, we sail. If there's thunder and lightening, we're off the
water. This past week we had three days with no wind in the morning. We held kinetics relay races. Kept the kids in the boat and they actually learned a little about propelling the boats. -- ---- Steve S/V Pony Express "katysails" wrote in message ...

How is it that you can train kids for money and not have
a USCG Captain's license? "Pony Express" wrote in message ... Finished the last week of our summer sailing camp. Gone are the whining little kids. Gone are the 8 hour days of dinghy sailing.

LOL you .... supposedly .... have a license. Imagine the mess if you
were teaching your versions of "Rules" and boat handling, under power!!! Thankfully, no certified institute would hire you except as a prime example of the "how not to do it".
