Today I got my study materials for the sailing class I'm taking in a week. I decided it would be a good idea to take an actual class, since I'm going to be teaching ocean sailing for 2 weeks and my only experience is doing the merit badge at Boy Scout Camp.
My class is going to be about 4 hours a day for 5 straight days. There's a written exam at the end, so I actually have to pay attention to the boring stuff. The boat that I'm going to be learning with is 27' Soling, so it's a lot different from the 12' Sunfish I've used before.
As for the pre-class material, I'm kind of surprised by how much they expect us to read before class. They sent me a book with about 200 pages of terms and instructions for the basics of sailing. It looks like I'm going to be reading a fair amount in the coming week. I'm kind of anxious because I don't know what to expect and I don't want to make a fool out of myself.
Other note: the Pittsburgh Penguins lost game 1 to Detroit. Ehhh...
