What to Expect
Get ready for an exhilarating day at sea, but don't stress...absolutely NO SAILING EXPERIENCE is required. We will be learning together and then attacking a group challenge which will highlight our strengths and weaknesses in areas of group decision making, leadership styles and collaboration. Be prepared to be surprised by what we learn about ourselves and each other.
