GSLYC 2009 Junior Learn to
Sail Program
Junior Sailing Program Update
At long last we are scheduling the make up for
the last day in the juniors program. It will be Saturday, August 22, at
10:00 am, weather permitting. We plan on taking the dinghies and a couple
keel boats out to the deep water channel marker which is northeast of the
observation area in the marina. We will sail near there taking turns in
the various boats for a couple of hours, then come in for hamburgers at the
marina. Parents are invited to join us on the keel boats, watching from
the water.
All children are invited to participate, even if
they didn’t attend the first two sessions, but you must sign up with me and have
a parental liability release. Space is limited however so let me know as
soon as possible.
