A cloudy day, but enough wind to sail.... and good occasion to make a voyage to downtown New Bern!
The sailing cadets, including the new class of beginners, sailed across the Neuse River from Bridgeton to the Galley Store docks right at the foot of Pollock St. Mumfest was in full swing, with musicians performing, crafts displays, and of course traditional fare like cotton candy funnel cakes.

The fleet of 4 Javelins put on a brief display of sailing maneuvers for the crowd at Union Point, then docked and took a break for lunch.

Head Sailing Coach Jerry Rezab and Coach Jeff Hallquist supervised the sailing fleet from a motorboat, and provided safety back-up. Things went very well.
The advanced sailors had a great time and got to show off a little, and the beginners got in a full day of practice. A great experience!
