Family Week — August 3–9
ISLAND EXPLORATION AND SEAMANSHIP
On board the 36' ketch PATIENCE B.
Come share Capt. Andy Oldman’s enthusiasm for exploring, gunkholing, and navigating the Maine Island Trail Association islands. The focus of this course will be to balance the skills and demands of island seamanship with the incredible rewards of time spent ashore on these islands. Each day’s voyage will be planned, charted, and navigated by the class to reflect wind and sea conditions, and the particular characteristics of the island selected for exploration. This course is limited to four participants. The family mix will be one parent and one child from each of two unrelated families. Some sailing experience and familiarity with small rowboats is desirable.
Tuition: $690
