Summer Vacation... first sailing report



Not only has summer vacation started, but 5 of our cadets have already spent a week sailing!

West Ashley NJROTC in Charleston SC holds a Sail Academy during summer, five of our cadets completed it with flying colors. Since each of the five has already passed our basic sailing program, this is not a surprise.

However, we sail in Flying Junior sloops and Javelins, down there they sail Lasers (aften 2-up although it is designed to singlehand). So it was a different experience!

Here is an exceprt from a cadets' report:
"I just returned today from Sailing Academy in Charleston. It was a great week and had lots of fun sailing those tippy Lasers. Our cadets performed very well in comparison on the water. The wind was great except for just one day, and I have many stories to tell."

No photos (yet) but this post from last year, at the same place & same boats, should give an idea
