Jack just turned 15 this week, and he has been waiting patiently for a trip to the DMV to get his driver's permit... but it had to wait, because he was attending the last week of sailing camp at the Lake Calhoun Sailing School, near downtown Minneapolis, along with his good friend Kanad Gupta.
This wasn't a great day for pictures of Captain Jack, sailing the 420 class sloop-rigged vessels, because the wind was pretty calm. But most days for the past three weeks found him hoisting a spinnaker and demonstrating his knowledge of sloop racing on this beautiful Minnesota lake.
This is the same school at which little brother Luke attended for a 2-week camp earlier this summer.
The wind was calm enough that the crew resorted to towing the boat toward the mark... and Jack resorted to the age-old art of "sculling" - essentially using the rudder as a paddle...
