Raced in my twenties and thirties, did what I was told and knew nothing about sailing but loved the rush of the her heeling and speeding through the wind! Now retired, bought a 23’ Merit Sprint and been dreaming of costal cruising. Active in NauticEd and SailTies. Two awesome resources.

Went out with the Admiral as she hones her sailing skills with Capt Jim L. Not much wind, but a lot of tacking and gybing. Then a good amount of time practicing docking.

Beautiful day for the last day of Discover Buffalo Sailing. Can not thank Diana enough for letting me join her and her crew for a wonderful sail. Had a picnic at the pavilion at RCR afterwards. Thanks Diana, no one does more to show the beauty of this sport and get people interested in sailing in the Buffalo area than Diana. Much love Diana from Jim n Jill❤️
