Sailing class

I had my first Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster Offshore theory class on Thursday night, and it seems like it's going to be another good class. The instructor is someone I actually know of (and a lot younger than the guy who taught me last year), and is very clued-up.

I realise now, though, how thoroughly we were taught last year. This course covers a lot of the same ground, only in more detail - but it looks like I've already covered a fair bit of that extra detail in some areas.

And one of the other students amazes me. Chatting over coffee in our break, he casually announced that he'd taken up sailing 12 years ago. When he was 72.

There's hope for me yet *grin*
