This is definitely the Calm Before the Storm! We made our way to Marsh Harbour early this morning to hopefully find a good anchorage in anticipation of the weekend's big blow. Forecasted to be in upwards of 60kn, it's at least 20kn more than we've experienced. That's a LOT OF WIND! Suffice it to say, Marsh Harbour wasn't vacant. We were able to find, what we hope to be, a nice hole between some sailboats. To our aft are the folks from Sailing Zephyr...very cool. Anyways, we're confident in our ground tackle but you always have to worry about other boats dragging. Our anchor is a Spade 160 and is oversized for our boat...that said, if there's an abrupt wind shift of 180º, all anchors will have to reset themselves. This is definitely the Calm Before the Storm

The RYA Training Centre is an integral part of DOSC, providing sailing lessons for everyone - no matter their age, no matter their ability. DOSC has been affiliated with the RYA since 1998, trains over 5000 students yearly, and runs more than 1000 courses every year. We have a dedicated instructor team who, in line with the RYA, deliver high quality sailing courses with the focus of every session to improve the students sailing ability, and develop a love for sailing and the marine environment. We run the 'Learn to Sail' Program for the youth, which is split into Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. The beginner course takes you through RYA Stage 1&2, bringing you to a point where you can sail a boat under supervision. RYA Stage 3&4 is the basis of the intermediate course, introducing bigger boats, and more technical skills. Once completed, you will be sail confidently alone, and rent a boat to be able to enjoy sailing on your own time. The last of the Learn to Sail course is Advanced, which looks at the RYA Advanced modules, and is designed as a development course. This means there is no specific completion point, as it will continue to develop and improve upon skills. It also introduces new skills, such as spinnakers & racing, and uses a variety of boats.
