Learning from Sailing

This season--season 2, we put our boat down in Callandar Bay.  Last year we were at the North Bay marina and had a great summer of sailing, swimming, and just having fun with the boat.  The main attraction in Callandar is the chance to race.

Ah the race.

A Calm Race.

A stormy Race.

What a difference.  It is a humbling experience.  A good experience.  As a teacher I can't help reflect on how some students must feel when they are at the beginning of a new semester or class and haven't quite figured out how things work, where they fit in, or what's going to happen next.

I'm excited about the whole experience.

Learning--with a smile.
