Sorry I didn't write last night. The kids had a very busy day. Roberto wanted them up and eating breakfast by 8:30. They then packed their lunches, rigged, launched and began training seconds from the dock. As I understand it, they worked their way through the Bay then out to the Lake for a very full day. The weather was very nice! Georgia and her Mom arrived around 4:00. They had a long, inconvenient trip. This seems to be the story of the summer! At nearly that same time Roberto and the kids were getting back to the dock. The kids had a snack, then swam and played for about an hour. After that, Roberto sat them down to review videos he had taken of their training. In some cases the videos were of the group performing drills and in other cases the video was taken from inside an Opti. I got to watch and listen a little because I was making dinner. It was very interesting. Sometimes he showed the kids the videos frame by frame, pointing out things they had done well and also, not so well. With the very detailed pictures the camera took from inside the Opti, he was able to show and teach the kids about the importance of the placement of their hands, feet, knees, where they sat, how they held the line and the tiller and so on. It was more detailed than I can explain in the blog. I can tell you, Jessica has never had that kind of detailed Opti training. It was really cool and I am happy to report, all the kids were very interested in what was shown and everyone was listening carefully. We then had dinner. Then indoor s'mores. The kids love those! They watched alittle TV. Then bed.
As long as the weather is good, I think this will be the pattern for the next few days, so I won't bore you with all these details again, but I will try to keep you up to date with the weather and the sailing. Please feel free to email or Txt. llietz@rochester.rr.com 585-233-0355.
