"Captain Bedwell was an outstanding teacher. He was extremely
knowledgeable, personable and patient. He knew more than simply how
to sail or even how to teach sailing. He was able to answer all
questions then give an additional detail of how important that
information really is as a new learner. I really trusted him, had
fun and learned a lot more than I expected. I couldn't have asked
for a better teacher. He really motivated me to continue my interest
in sailing. I really appreciate all he did for us."
