“To my sailing family, patient mentors, and encouragers…Your dedication to helping the unsalted masses become proficient and safe sailors is evident in how you teach your students, and how you run your business. You both have a gift for teaching, and your passion for what you do reveals itself in the students who come to you as wide-eyed adventure seekers, and emerge as proud and competent sailors. The world needs more people like you – who would help others to throw off the blinders that keep life in a black and white rut, and show them the power and freedom of partnering with the wind and waves to go wherever one can imagine. Thank you for all you do…it is a privileged few who get to experience what you teach.”
