We couldn’t let the summer sail by without giving a huge shoutout to the incredible staff who make the magic happen every single day. Our staff of 40 are comprised of our office, instructors and beach. Each play a vital role in how we function. They’ve taught skills, cheered on victories, handled the chaos, made lifelong friendships, and somehow still show up smiling every morning. 😄 To the team that keeps us afloat (literally 😉), thank you for making this summer unforgettable. We wouldn’t—and definitely couldn’t—do it without you. #staffgoals #LongshoreSailingSchool #BestSummerEver #westportct
