I signed up to teach the DSC Taste of Sailing class on Saturday. Although I arrived an hour early, I realized upon arrival that I had forgotten my hat, and therefore drove all the way back home to pick it up, resulting in not getting back to DSC until a few minutes before the class was supposed to start. Fortunately, Karen, the other instructor, prepared a Sonar for me, so we were able to get everything started on time.
One of my students had a last minute emergency and could not attend, but I did not receive notification of this before the class, so we went over the parts of the boat on shore while we waited. When we finally got underway, the wind was almost completely dead, so it was slow going for quite a while, which was concerned because there were scattered thunderstorms in the area. I demonstrated propelling the boat by rocking it in order to get us closer to the docks, and finally the wind picked up a bit.
It wasn't a terribly exciting sail, but I think everyone had a good time, and we were able to cover most of the basic concepts of sailing.
