| Lee and Nicky are Wayne Culph's trainees |
Nicky and Lee are two of my most loyal crew but now they have decided that the time has come to sign up for Big River Sailing Club's dinghy training. Interestingly Nicky, Lee and Wayne are all teachers. The session went very well and both Nicky and Lee praised Wayne's teaching style.
It was a good that both Wayne and Hariet were on tap that morning. Hariet took charge of the littlies while the seniors had Wayne's undivided attention.

Sail training ends before lunch so we were able to spend the afternoon aboard Little Dragon. It was great weather and there was plenty of time for Nicky and Lee to take the helm. We reminisced about our early joint voyages in Little Dragon which involved various minor disasters. This time everything went smoothly and we reckoned it had been an excellent day.
