One night my best mate and principal instructor asked me if I was available to sub a group of nice young family for teaching in preparation for their first time for the ocean on following days. It was not unusual in life and at sea where one could come across unexpected moments that eventually become a wonder. Little do we know how much a day that is about to go by would affect our lives, and that’s the beauty of knowing the unknowns. Photography by Jacques de Vos Teaching SC
