Hazel participated in a high wind sailing clinic in the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon!
First step: Unload the trailer and prepare the boats
Next: Rig the sails
Go for a sail! Get tossed all around in the wind! Capsize once or twice or thrice
Meet with a coach, learn some tips, talk about strategy, and have a snack
Try again
Learn more
Go back out
Like this
Again, again, again
On and on and on
Four days later? So much learning!
So many smiles!
In a reeeeeeaaally beautiful spot…

MY, what a week. Hazel, you’re my hero!
My hero as well! Such ‘gumption’! (Is that still a word?) Bravery, perseverance, all accompanied by those fantastic smiles. You’re a rare one! (And a future college sailor??)
I love the pink opti!! And WOW, go Hazel!!!!
