Competent Crew - NYC
It's Easter 2009 and I've arrived in Jersey City after a quick visit in Atlanta, GA. I'm here visiting my father and also to do my Competent Crew sailing course, so long awaited. I was very lucky as there were only 2 of us on the course, due to the fact that it's so early in the season. Me and a medical doctor from Texas. 3 Lovely days out on the Hudson sailing around and learning the basics. The weather was fantastic (thought the middle day had a bit of rain). Our instructor even made us sail past where captain Sully landed the aeorplane in the Hudson. What a fantastic time.
I'm proud to say that I've completed step 1 - "Competent Crew" sailing course, top of the class (granted there were only two of us). It was tremendous fun and I learnt a lot. Fantastic female instructor (nice to see the ladies making a serious entrance in the sailing environment at a more grass routes level). Thanks to Colgate Offshore Sailing School at Liberty Landing!
Now it's back to London for the next steps in my sailing plan.
