Day One of US Sailing Course Complete

After lunch at the pub, the girls headed back down to the classroom for more land training. The girls breezed through the course material and were quickly back on the water on the small boats. After class the girls came back to the boats for dinner aboard, studying, and some down time. After some rest we made it back to shore to catch movie night at BEYC.
