Jacomo Sailing Club and Jackson County Park Sail Campers

Dwayne spent two days on Lake Jacomo with other members of the Jacomo Sailing Club taking kids participating in the Jackson County summer camp program out for a sail.  JSC has partnered with the park system in this program.  Over 70 kids were able to hoist and trim sails, as well as, take a turn at the helm of one of the six cruising boats skippered by members of the JSC.  The weather was almost perfect for this outing.  Winds were in the 8 - 12 mph range with gusts up to 15.  Some dark clouds threatened rain; however, the sailing for the day was finished before the drops began to fall.  Dwayne and the JSC Commodore, John had to wait until a brief but severe storm passed before being able to move their boat from Sailboat Cove to the South Marina.  Dwayne is looking forward to helping with the youth program and becoming more active with the club now that we are spending more time at home in Kansas and Missouri.  It was exciting to see how the club has grown during the three years while we were actively cruising aboard Foreign Affair.
