October 1996 Sailing hard in Biscayne Bay, Florida. October through June are fabulous sailing days and Biscayne Bay is second to none as a sailing ground. Being protected from the Atlantic ocean swells, the harder the wind blows the faster you go. This is one of our Oceanis 400's at 8.4 knots. |

November 1996 After a fine dinner and the dishes are all clean it is time to spend some time planning for the next day's sail. |

December 1996 Bayside Harbor Miami, and a rip roaring time it was. This is a favorite stop for students wishing to have a little night-life shore time. Bayside has restaurants, shopping, live music, and is a good place to pick up gift items for the folks back home that didn't get to spend a week sailing in the warm winter sun. |

November 1996 All hands on deck, full participation by all students is the way to learn-aboard and live-aboard. All of our courses are seven day and six nights, they start on Saturday morning and conclude on the following Friday afternoon. Our focus is on the cruising side of sailing, our students are interested in purchasing a vessel, living aboard or bareboat chartering and this total immersion style of learning fits their desires. |

Haitian freighter, these are the vessels that carry many of the goods to Haiti and other island points to the southeast of Florida. While most are engaged in legal commerce a few become news worthy when they carry illegal human cargo. A vessel this size may have as many as 200 individuals attempting to gain entry into the United States. |

Anchoring, an exercise in patience and planning. Here students are laying out the proper amount of rode for the depth of water. This insures that there will be no glitches when attempting to pay out the rode. The acceptable scope is 7 to 1, do not forget to include the height of the bow above the water. |

Seven pieces of bread, four students, one instructor, a cruising guide,
three more days to go and miles of water that you can't drink. This must be Course 921:
"If you survive you pass". Or maybe it is Course 926: "How to make fresh croutons". |
