Snow? Sailing? Yes, now and not long from now...

.

We do in fact have "winter" here although it's certainly different from what other places must deal with. It's not unusual to have snow during a New Bern winter, but it rarely sticks and even more rarely sticks around. Ice is a bigger concern.







Our "hotrod" 5O5 was tucked into it's cover and well taken care of. We hope all the students and their families came thru the storm safely too.










It might seem odd to be planning our sailing classes in the midst of all this snow & ice... it will be gone soon and we DO have class beginning in February. The first class will be at the high school, hopefully with a real boat for practice, then we will have a combined "ground school" and work session out at Bridgeton Harbor to get the boats rigged up, the Javelins launched, and ready to SAIL.



Might not be a bad idea for those thinking about taking BASIC SAILING this spring to take a look at tour on-line lessons (link), or our advanced & Blue Book sailors to review just a bit.

See you all soon!     .     .     .  Assistant Sailing Coach Douglas King
