This morning I was sailing at CRAB. It was my 'Skipper-in-training' final exam. CRAB has a well conceived program to make certain that the skippers are up to the task at hand. In my mind, the sailing part was the easy part. The learning curve has been understanding how to best serve the "Guests". I have not worked with people who have limitations and have really focused on that part of the skipper training. Today, we had guests from ARC who had limited mental capabiities. The guests are encouraqed to participate in sailing the boat by steering or adjusting sheets. Watching their joy in being out on the water and being able to steer the boat made my day. Although I passed my 'skipper in training', I decided that I was not ready for prime time and could use a little more coaching.
