The Parent Sail was a roaring success, with students demonstrating how far they have come and showing off their skills on deck. It’s no wonder that many are gearing up to get their OS qualifications on our next sail. Next, family joined in, learning to clear the deck by perfecting the art of the coiled rope. Afterwards, families enjoyed tiramisu and other treats in the Mess. Shore Leave followed, with students and families scattering across the island to explore lava tubes, hot springs, botanical gardens, and much more.
