点评:We bought a motor/sail boat with the idea of motoring the Great Loop. We decided to try living aboard for a month, and why not Key West in Feb? We discovered the Southernmost Sailing School and learned that it was located at a marina. Win-win! We booked at the marina, booked with the school and now we can confidently sail our boat instead of just motoring! Brad is such a a patient teacher. He's who you wished you could have had for Driver's Ed! After the classroom learning (we were totally green when we started) Brad took us out and let us sail. At first, he told us what we needed to do. As the day went along, he backed off more and more, allowing us to make the decisions we would need to make when sailing alone. He would make suggestions or corrections if needed for safety, but he did so with an emphasis on our learning. He provided the "whys" to the "hows". Brad's philosophy is to learn how to have fun and stay safe while sailing. He and his wife Sherri run the school, with Sherri doing most of the scheduling and paperwork and Brad sharing his great love of sailing. They make a great team and we highly recommend their school!
翻译:我们购买了一艘机动/帆船,想要驾驶大环线。我们决定尝试在国外生活一个月,为什么不在二月份去基韦斯特呢?我们发现了最南端的帆船学校,并得知它位于码头。双赢!我们在码头预订,并与学校预订,现在我们可以自信地驾驶我们的船,而不仅仅是开车!布拉德是一位很有耐心的老师。他就是你希望能在《司机教育》中拥有的人!课堂学习结束后(开始时我们完全是绿色的)布拉德带我们出去,让我们航行。一开始,他告诉我们需要做什么。随着时间的推移,他越来越退缩,让我们能够做出独自航行时需要做出的决定。如果出于安全考虑,他会提出建议或更正,但他这样做的重点是我们的学习。他提供了“为什么”和“如何”。布拉德的理念是学习如何在航行时享受乐趣并保持安全。他和他的妻子雪莉 (Sherri) 经营着这所学校,雪莉 (Sherri) 负责大部分日程安排和文书工作,布拉德 (Brad) 分享了他对航海的热爱。他们组成了一支出色的团队,我们强烈推荐他们的学校!
