Dubbed “City Sailing”, the US Sailing Center - City of Miami Parks Department Sailing is back! The first of ten sessions happened on Wednesday, September 22, 2021. Seven kids plus a counselor from Shenandoah Park came sailing with Team Paradise for the first time since 2019. Another nine sessions are scheduled for 2021.
The City Sailing event took place between 3.35PM - 5.45PM
Most of the kids come from Shenandoah Middle School. We used two RS Ventures for the day. The skipper waiving in the background is Marite Felix. The other boat was skippered by Magnus Liljedahl, Executive Director of Team Paradise Sailing.
Marite and her crew!
It is well deserved and every kid in Miami should have the opportunity to swim in Biscayne Bay!
We made it back to shore right before the storm. The kids were back on the bus promptly at 5.45PM (Photo by Pat Downey)
