Sailing Away

As we wait for our entry Visa to be approved, we have been keeping busy with a variety of activities.  These last two weeks Max and Simon have been in a Learn To Sail program at the LaHave River Yacht Club.

It rained every day except two.  But this has not dampened their spirits.  We are not sure if there will be opportunity to sail in the Persian Gulf but they are ready with a variety of new skills.  They both became Level White Ones.  This means that they are now able to rig and de-rig a sailboat.

Max and Simon have come home each day with a new set of stories and new jargon.  Jib Sail, Centreboard, Tacking, Hiking, Gybing, 420 dinghy, Sheet Knot, Boom, Outhaul Rope, In Irons. 

One day Simon's crew even "Skied the Halyard" -- not a good thing apparently.
