SOCIAL EVENT
Get-Kids-Afloat (GKA) Course Our August was fully packed with GKA sessions every week and one class was conducted in September! Despite the rainy weather in the mornings of our courses, the afternoons gave the kids an ample opportunity to test their skills on the water. In learning how to sail, it is a good thing to remember not to underestimate the eagerness of kids to truly learn based on their age. Our youngest participants were 7 year old kids who amazingly displayed confidence in handling their own boats out in the sea! The rainy weather also brought along strong gusts of wind throughout August and September. This turned our calm seas into a perfect training ground for the kids to test out their reflexes in unpredictable sailing conditions. One moment they are moving along calmly and the next they’ll be watching out for the boom! All the know-hows of sailing is taught step-by-step by our sailing instructors. This allows encouragement for the love of the water, sailing, and all that sailing involves, especially having fun! Our last batch of GKA
