What it's all about
I wish I could have been there... sigh, still hobbling around. This is
pretty much what sailing is all about. These are at-risk kids, who in many cases, have never set foot on a boat before this week. http://www.flickr.com/gp/33743038@N00/9nRqVD -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

I love seeing the young ones given that opportunity. I don't know if the kids here at the Tahiti Yacht Club are at risk but they are totally involved. When we brought Arabella back from the yard we were guided in by the mother ship full of new sailors. The kids, about a dozen of them on board, never said a word and watched patiently as the sailing instructor helped us put Arabella in her berth stern to easily. Here's a pic of the kids hanging on to the "mother ship" being taken out to sail their little boats. http://www.sailinglinks.com/images/o...0to%20race.jpg Sail on, Barb |
