If you are headed out to Lake Calhoun in downtown Minneapolis this summer... beware! There are 8-year old pirates afloat, terrorizing the high seas... Luke and his good friend Jose are learning to sail on the "Optimist" class of sailboats - known as the "Opti" - just 8 feet long. These are "sprit-rigged" vessels with a flat prow - very forgiving for this age of pirate.
The last day of camp is this week, and it is Pirate Day... rumor has it that a hostile band of pirate (otherwise known as the sailing camp's counselors) are plotting the good pirates' demise. That doesn't sit well with Pirate Captain Luke, who is already working on his pirate costume and maritime grenades to ward them off. As I said... avoid Lake Calhoun this summer... we have around 9,999 more lakes around here that you could visit instead! Learn more about the OPTI class of sailboat, HERE.
