Finally, after weeks of rain and floodwaters, we were able to get on the water again. Charlie and Tarquin in the X3s and newcomers Patrick and Alby crewing in the Pacers with Monique and Lex, our volunteer instructors.
Despite an outgoing tide and very light winds, all boats made headway and the new guys were on the tiller getting expert instruction.
Then the breeze filled in and Alby was steering the Pacer like a pro and Patrick switched to an X3 on his own and was soon looking like a natural!
Hopefully, we’ll get a few more of our Juniors back sailing soon and start a Junior Racing Fun Series?
