Our regular sailors Sara, Michelle and Jamie, were there as well as 6 girls from Glenmore High. They were accompanied by teachers and parents most of whom got out on the water.
Michelle, the teacher who organised the trip, was amazed at how well behaved the girls were. Very peaceful. Not sure if it was the surroundings at the lake or Sailability. We’ll pretend it was us. Read the rest of this entry »
Where
From the boat ramp on the north shore of the Causeway Lake.
When
First and third Tuesdays of each month. Occasional changes!
To see a detailed map and get more details
Just a quick reminder that our next sail day is on Tuesday.
A teacher from Glenmore High, Michelle, is bringing some teenage girls for the first time. I’ll let Michelle tell you about them.
We have 6 or 7 students, 1 parent and 4 staff. Read the rest of this entry »
Volunteers
Another sail day where the emphasis was again on volunteers and getting you all up to speed with rigging and skippering the dinghies as well as rescue boat duty.
Some competency testing was planned but didn’t eventuate. Next time maybe.
Sailors

Just a reminder that we’ll be sailing on the north side of the Causeway Lake.
We plan to run competency testing for our new skippers. This is a requirement of Sailability Qld.
You can find a checklist to download on this training manuals page.
An amazing turn out of volunteers, 18 of us had a pleasant morning on the water. Including 3 people who turned up on the day. Thanks Vicki, Wendy and Dave.
Most volunteers had a sail and a turn on the rescue boat as well as lessons on rigging the dinghies.
We only had 2 disabled sailors, which gave us plenty of time for volunteer orientation, but we have 7 girls already booked in for the 18th. Hopefully more on the day.
Thanks again to everyone.
This brand new web site is pretty basic at the moment but will get expanded as soon as I figure out how.
If you have any images or video that you’d like to see here let me know and we’ll see if between us we can upload them somewhere. A gallery or something.
I’ve based this web site on a WordPress blog. If anyone has any experience with these, or knows someone who does, don’t be backward in coming forward
