What an absolutely wonderful weekend!!
Not only did I learn a ton but we all had so much fun, I’m kinda thinking Dave did too!
We were provided in advance all the necessary pre-course study information so that Saturday and Sunday were an action packed weekend of hands on sailing. Dave’s years of sailing, racing and instructing experience lent itself to a very comfortable, open, safe learning environment. So much imparted knowledge. Thank you Dave and Anneliese. I can’t wait for my next course!!
