Trip: ASA 101 -- Basic Keelboat Lifetime Certification Course
Guide: Adam J.
I was nervous on the first training day and our trainer Adam was patient with me giving me and my partner a lot of opportunities to practice. I got much more confident on the second day. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn to sail in Japan with English speaking instructor.
