Hi Everyone, firstly I have a story for you all.
The story revolves around why we Instructors do what we do, well its about the smiles on young faces . Last Sunday the two biggest smiles were from Mary, who finally succeeded in tacking absolutely perfectly which generated a yahoo and fist pump from Tianna which caused a grin that must have hurt Mary's face, and the other massive grin was from Hado who after a bit of help from Tianna completed a dry capsize in front of his biggest fan ( MUM )
Generally all round there were smiles galore on an absolutely perfect Sunday morning !

8.30am Sunday Juniors
With light winds from the s/e which most of the kids got right at the briefing ( very scary ) we sent them all off in a mixture of Teras, Lasers and some Bics . From what I could see, despite the accidental capsizes and some visits to the bridge, everyone had a great morning practicing both tacking and gybing . Everyone seems to want to have a go at steering, so we were flat out swapping captains over, and it was great to see the more experienced people showing the new captains how its done .
10.30am Sunday Juniors
With the winds increasing to around 6/8 knots, Kyle set a triangle course for everyone. We even had Hallam and Lewin giving the bics a go and despite a couple of capsizes they did well . We then had a few practice races with Jess and Jas taking on Dallas who joined in and the rest racing around in Teras and Bics . There were a few collisions some yells for buoy room which were apparently ignored by Jess probably because she didn't know what it meant but no protest were lodged on shore so everyone just kept going .
Pat and Casey rigged and took the 420 out for some spinnaker runs which did have a few hickups but at least they tried , they even took Rowan ( or is it rowing ? ) and Hado for a spin finally we had to go out in the rescue boat and take Rowan off as mum wanted to go home .

Additional Notes
Racing starts next Sunday but we don't expect a big fleet as its Anzac weekend and a few of the guys are away up north racing but it will still be good to get out there and watch everyone race around for the afternoon .
