Kids learning to sail...

Just to echo an article posted yesterday at Sailing Anarchy - about kids and sailing...

Found here: http://sailinganarchy.com/2015/11/15/best-day-of-my-life/

An excerpt:  "Some call it “School Sailing.” Kids call it “the best day of my life!” Whatever you call it, it’s a fun-filled, action-packed, sailing extravaganza that gets every 5th grader out sailing on Lake Winnebago in Oshkosh, WI. Oh – and let’s not forget teaching science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) through sailing, or using sailing to teach team-building and leadership skills to kids!"

The kids learn to sail, and things like using math and science while making their own sails.

That's cool.
