This past week I ran the Championship line at the Northeast Junior Olympics. We faced many challenges such as fog, rain, tide and a lack of wind. In two day we managed to get 5 races off which is pretty good considering.
I had a great group of people to help me out and it was cool to see 9 to 14 year olds with such amazing sailing ability. It makes me jealous that I didn't get into sailing until later in life.
This weekend I am off the the Boothbay Regatta. I am leaving to deliver the boat in about an hour. Looks to be a nice weekend!
It is interesting that I probably live about an hour and a half from you and sailing is just not a big thing in this area. Are there sailing camps for kids to attend in your area? I look forward to hearing about your adventure at the Boothbay Regatta!
ReplyDeleteI used to run the Junior Sailing Program at the Portland Yacht Club in Falmouth. Sail Maine has a program in Portland, there is one in Freeport at HYC, and some south around Prout's Neck and Biddiford Pool.
