St. John U.S. Virgin Islands

Yesterday and today we sailed in the U.S. Virgin Islands.  We start each day with school and our books.  Then we do hands on drills. The days fly by and there is so much to learn!!   The sails are huge and a little intimidating for me.  At night we had a delicious dinner on board, listened to good music and had some wine.  Everyone on board is very nice, the captain Dick is a great patient instructor and Gail is a great cook.   
The sails are huge!

We had to tie knots
Snorkeling when school is over
The helm and ropes we need to pull can be hard and fast when turning through the wind.
Studying for tomorrow test.  We all got high 90's on first test
