Experience Sailing for Free
Come experience sailboat racing on Pelican Lake for free on Sundays. Captains are looking for crew (guests) to help on the boat/ learn a new skill or to relax. No experience or equipment is necessary. Life jackets are supplied (if needed). Once signed up you can ask your captain specific questions about suggested items to bring (sunglasses, a hat and sunscreen are useful to have) and dock departure times. Although these aren’t official sailing lessons, (offered through the sailing school) captains are usually known for passing on their knowledge!
