The REAL action today was in the Flying Juniors, which were skippered by 2 advanced sailors. All you Javelin sailors, your goal should be to demonstrate proficiency to be turned loose in the FJs!

Speaking of which, lets review. Everybody has seen a capsized FJ by now. But I'm not sure everyone has seen the ladder that goes up over the high side. This ladder magically deploys in case of a capsize, and allows the crew to keep him/herself dry if desired.

By the way, there is now a lesson on The Capsize Drill here on our website (link). It may be worth reviewing.
But we did have a couple of cadets who brought up a nice soil sample from the bottom of the Neuse River today. We sent it to the lab for analysis, we should be getting a nice thank-you note from the scientists.
SERIOUSLY- remember sailing this Thursday!
