And, there's no such thing as a "Rain Day."  We sail in the rain.  If conditions do not permit on the water training, we catch up on classroom instruction with land based activities.

Students are responsible for providing their own lunches, water bottles, personal floatation devices (pfd), secure closed toe shoes (i.e. "Crocs - Tevas - watershoes - keens"), sunscreen and appropriate clothing.  Please let us know if you  have any difficulties with these requirements - we'll do whatever we can to help!
