Hamble River Cadets

Hamble River sailing Club held their first cadet session of the season on what was a cold and overcast Saturday morning. Despite the weather there was a good turn out. Joseph was among the youngsters who were along for their first sail in an Optimist, or rather the polypropylene plastic version apprpriately nicknamed a "Plopi".

We parents stood (and shivered) anxiously from the shore watching as a bunch of 4 and five year old's sailed off across the river.

But we need not have worried each went with the very capable skipper in charge, sailing Joseph around the course was Rebecca, both were having a great time in the blustery conditions and getting very competitive.

The morning was a success, it was all smiles and "when can we go again?"
