Death calm

Today we needed a whole new approach because there wasn’t a breath of wind. To deal with this problem we had to give some more theoretical lessons, which is after a while quite tedious. Nevertheless we decided to take the kids on the water. After bobbing a time up and down on the water, we started a water fight. This was not only pure pleasure but it was a good ‘lesson’ as well for the kids to get used to the water and their boat.


In the afternoon the wind was again death calm. There was one kid who didn’t sail in the morning because she was only 6 years old and didn’t know how to swim. We thought it was too dangerous for her to take an OPI. So we took her on the rib and afterwards she got some private lessons together with one of the trainers.



At the end of the day the wind started to come up, it became a light breeze. We found it most regrettable because the circumstances were ideal to learn the tricks of the trade, but we had to come off because it was getting late.
