www.abyc.org.za: Just before the L26 Provincials, Ocean started a brand new group of sail trainees from the Ed U College school.

Great were the smiles from the candidate Shosholoza crew members when they were told that they would be actually sailing during their first lesson.

It always gratifies me to see the complete trust that most of the pupils have in ABYC and their coach, Ocean, when it comes to launching and actually sailing for the first time.

Of course it is such fun to see that the universal truth that kids always mix up push and pull when they get on the water. This, leads sometimes to hilarious situations and slight rises in blood pressure as the pitch in the coaches voice becomes shriller and shriller.

As a club member, the next time you see a training course starting up wander down onto the grass (you may bring your beer with!) and observe the enthusiasm that these kids show. A tonic I can assure you.

Ed U College resume their sail training after Lipton Cup.
