A big thanks to Dan Crosby who kindly tows the sailing docks to their winter home off Gambier Island and returns them each spring.
Much appreciated!

Today is the last day of sailing lessons.
Last night the 7 instructors and fabulous volunteers enjoyed a "big" boat dinner cruise.
Over 200 sailors completed lessons in July and August, it's sad to see them go, but they'll be back next year!
