good afternoon,

A friend of mine runs a week long camp for the deaf where they are instructed on sailing, particfular the hobie cats. we spend a week there and it is a great pleasure getting these people out sailing on the cats! my best day on the water last year i had a 15 yewar old on the line and we were literally flying. when we finally came in he said, "That made my summer". kind of rewarding.
here is a link to a short bit of footage from last summer's camp. the lake is about a mile wide and 90 miles long.

Nothing real fancy, just good fun and these people love it!! I can't wait till camp this coming summer.
