In Grand Marais sits a school called North House Folk School where you can take a wide assortment of classes. I signed up for the sailing class and enjoyed it fully.
We started out with some brief classroom time while we waited for the rain to die down. Our instructor gave us an idea of some terms and such and tried to prepare us for what to expect when we got out in the water.
The time in the water was amazing. I was able to learn to get the feel for being at the correct angle to the wind while staying on course and learned so much about handling the sails and all the cords on the boat. It was kind of funny how I felt more excited over handling ropes then over steering. It was so much to learn with all these knots and such. It was a very exciting class.
The school itself was very beautiful. They have done such an amazing job keeping the place as original as possible with it's cute little bay style. I look forward to going back to become a certified herbologist
