CBI has a class called "Guided Sail", which is when volunteers (me) can take other new sailors out on the water to get some hands on practice and make that first sail less intimidating. I became a volunteer this season, and this was the first time I took people out for a guided sail. It was so much fun! I had two students who had both just joined this week and were absolutely incredible. Put up with me not knowing how to do anything since it was my first one, and both got a million times better over the course of the hour and a half. Most of the time was oh no, you're about to go in irons, how do you know? what do you do? or oh no, you're about to gybe, how do you know? what do you do? The favorite factoid was if the boats are moving behind the boat approaching you, you probably won't collide (which I was told and really really hope is actually true)
