Day 2

Author: Kyle M.
Location: Savanna Bay, Virgin Gorda
The sun was bright, the sky clear, and the sea was calm. The first day of sailing boasted strong winds and eager crew. All day we learned every job in managing a ship and how to sail properly. We learned all steps and jobs on how to raise and lower the mainsail and jib. Taking turns at driving, we all learned to also steer a boat according to the wind. Tacking and trimming the sails were two actions we all mastered. Furling and unfurling were the words of the day.
