Deb Cashion, who took ASA101, 103 and 104 courses with us in 2021, sent the following note:

ASA 104 is a great course to test your skills on the open water. We cruised around the Chesapeake Bay for four days. We sailed under the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, moored at Annapolis, docked at the Marina in St. Michael's, sailed through Kent Narrows, and anchored somewhere up the Chester River. We learned to use navigation charts, plotted our entire course and way points, and learned how to take fixes to correct our course when it was off. It was a real hands-on learning experience.

Captain Frank Mummert is an impressive seaman and terrific teacher. He has a great sense of humor and a load of fun. Frank took the stress out of learning and made the whole experience enjoyable. He never lost his patience and encouraged us to work together and figure things out for ourselves. He really prepared us for the ASA 104 test, which is not easy, but we all did well because we were ready for it.

Last weekend I took out a Flying Scot single-handed all by myself! And I started a Women's Racing Team at my sailing club. We have our own boat with a hot pink spinnaker. I call it the Barbie Dreamhouse boat! Next week I'm taking off the whole week to help out with Youth Sail Camp. I'm all in with sailing, so tell Frank it was a good investment!
