Sailing School and the tiny Pirates

i got word that the sailing school was a great spot for some photo ops.  So yesterday i got out and took a few shots of the young Pirates.  Ages 6-8 for this group.  i got word there is an older class in the afternoon up to ages 12.  So i'll try to swing by and see if they are as daring...




After a quick swimming test they jump into their little boats and try to follow 'the clear directions' of Captain Chris.  You see the blank look on their little faces as he tells them, "broad reach, lessen sail, up wind, tack, jibe."  Mostly they tried to not hit anyone.  They did however have a head on with each other.  Two boats and they hit head on....    kids!


It's still gonna rain again.  Just not sure when.  So leave the hatches CLOSED.

Last item.  I met Jim and his African Grey Parrot - Bob.  He can talk but prefers to whistle.

I hope you are whistling a happy tune and not getting rained on.     -Skip
