Hello, hello! Thanks for visiting- you're at the blog for the Marin Sailing School's Program for the Blind.

Hey, our racing team (California One) will be participating in next month's 2009 Blind Sailing World Championships at Lake Rotorua, New Zealand. So we're gettin' ready....pictured here are two members of the team: Philip Kum (on the main and traveler) and Walt Raineri (at the helm).

I'll try to post some info about our Blind Sailing Program in general, and some specifics about the upcoming World Championships, in the next few days. We'll be leaving San Francisco for Auckland on March 7. There will be a couple of days for us to practice (on the Noelex 25) before the regatta begins. I'll be posting some pics, some stories- maybe even a little video from down there in the evenings and on our off days, as time permits.

Thanks for your patience as I get this blog into high gear.

We're jazzed! Thanks for your encouragement and support- means the World to us.

Al
