Sailing lessons

Greg decided to take sailing lessons so he and Conor can go out together and last Saturday was his first one.  Conor gave him a crash course on sailing terms just before the lesson, and Ryan and I went along to enjoy the beach at the Barbados Yacht Club, and to offer moral support and encouragement!



Learning to rig the sails... Conor showed Greg how to do it!
Pushing off...
It was such a windy day, in absolutely no time at all they were out of sight!

Ryan and I amused ourselves playing on the beach


It took me a while though to coax him into the water, but eventually he did go all the way in!

 


The sailors return!


What a beautiful day!  The white puffy clouds were perfect, and the breeze meant it never got too hot. Barbados is always beautiful, but in wintertime it is a particularly nice place to be!
