Nashville Sail Camp is a learn-to-sail camp for all levels of sailors. Along with sailing, campers will learn valuable problem-solving and creative thinking techniques. They spend their days on shore and on the water, and will come home with plenty of hands-on sailing experience.

All groups are coached by US Sailing qualified instructors and helped by camp counselors (顾问) and junior counselors. Each day includes lessons appropriate for each learning level.

Opti 1

Our youngest and smallest campers will take the helm (舵柄) for the first time, learning the basics of sailing in pairs on board their boats.

Opti 2

Beginners aged 9 and up as well as Opti 1 graduates will increase their skill level at the helm of an Opti sailboat. Campers are encouraged to learn single-handed sailing after mastering sailing in pairs.

Sunfish

Sailors aged 11 and up will explore the waters on a leisure sunfish boat, one of the world’s most popular day sailing boats. Starting off in pairs to increase confidence and get practice with a friend on board, campers are encouraged to try single-handing the boat by the end of the week. Sunfish campers spend most of their time on the water throughout the week.

4 . Norhern Michigan knows how to celebrate summer’s arrival. This month, join a decades-long party that greets the sun’s traditional cannon (大炮) firing and the cheering on of a ferry (渡船) launch.

Fort Mackinac

It’s a tradition for the Lilac Queen to fire the first cannon when Port Mackinac opens for the season. This year brings back a popular program that lets visitors learn to drill like an 1880s soldier, as well as a new reading room offering the chance to learn history through newspapers of the day. You may even share a ferry over to the island with a horse or two.

Fishtown

The annual “Here comes the Sun” party has been rocking historic Fishtown every Memorial Day Monday for 30 years. This year, The Cove restaurant is bringing back the long-time traditions: live band, outdoor barbecue, and a rowboat icing down the beer as it floats on the Leland River.

Benzie County

Nothing says season opener of summer like Honor’s chance to catch the family-friendly double feature at The Cherry Bowl Drive-in. Pre-movie, make time for onsite mini golf and taking in the cartoons that feature dancing hot dogs. Don’t forget to grab a box of popcorn topped with real butter.

Ludington

The entire town lines the streets of Ludington when the SS Badger (獾) sets sail for the season on May 12. Even first-time sailors on this four-hour Lake Michigan ferry will find it hard to resist joining the quiz (with prizes), or catching an on-board movie. Look for themed shoreline sails, too, that travel along Ludington’s coast with live entertainment.

A visit to a historical place is always an exciting experience. It is a     1     (fascinate) adventure. Calvin had one such experience during the last summer vacation, when he visited Delhi (德里) with his family. Delhi is a historical city. It     2     (give) different names indifferent periods of time.     3     the one hand they are Red Fort, Jama Masjid and India Gate which indicate the glorious past of India, while Bhawan, Lotus Temple, and Parliament,     4     (name) a few, are the wonders of modern times.

They visited the Red Fort first, the landmark of Delhi, which stands on the bank of river Yamuna. It was built by Shah Jehan in 1648, using red stones. The     5     (surround) have been decorated using     6     (value) stones and silver linings. Diwan-e-Khas, beautifully     7     (design), has its walls with the following text: “If there is anywhere Paradise (乐园) on earth, it is this, it is this and it is this”. Another superb structure was built near Rang Mahal. Then they went to the first floor,     8     there is a war memorial museum. By noon, they had completed the tour of Red Fort and returned back. Calvin enjoyed his trip to the Red Fort very much. It was really     9     unforgettable experience which was     10     (vital) rewarding.

8 . While anytime is the perfect time to take a European vacation, there is something special about autumn. Here are a few places to consider when you are planning your own fairy tale European vacation this fall.

◆ Zaanse Schans—Netherlands

Just a short trip from the wonderful tree-lined city of Amsterdam is Zaanse Schans. You can explore traditional industries like wooden clog carving (木屐雕刻), barrel making, and participate in cheese tastings, visit the home of a fisherman, and even check out a working windmill.

◆ Hallstatt—Austria

Situated on Lake Halstatt, the town itself was known for producing salt. But it’s also known for its beauty and has been named a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. Start early at the town’s photo point to seize some of the most breathtaking shots of the location and yourself!

◆ Trondheim—Norway

Beautiful walking trails with both mountain and seaside views are the perfect way to start a refreshing fall morning before taking in the scene at the K-U-K art gallery or a visit to the largest medieval cathedral (中世纪大教堂). It is also surrounded by countless small and large-scale food producers.

◆ Mdina—Malta

With no cars allowed, the “silent city” has maintained an atmosphere of beauty and delight throughout time, and its mix of medieval and baroque (巴洛克式的) architecture, including palaces, gives the feeling that you are truly traveling back in time.

9 . They supposedly swim in remote lakes, hide in dense forests, and walk among snowy mountains. Yet despite being unreal proven by science, cryptids—fantastical beasts that probably don’t exist—have fascinated humans for centuries and gave birth to cryptotourism which boosts the local tourism. North America’s Bigfoot helps generate over $140 million annually for the U.S. economy, according to the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.

In Nepal, cryptotourism reaches back to the 1950s. It centers on the Yeti. Up to six feet tall and similar in appearance to the Bigfoot, this legendary creature is reported to wander on the snowy peaks of the Himalayas and is a prominent figure in the folk tale of Nepal. Its tale is 6,000 years old. But the furry beast was a regional fairytale until British explorer Eric Shipton claimed to have photographed a 13-inch-long human-like footprint in the snow of Nepal’s Menlung Glacier. Explorers all over the world soon flooded into the Himalayas, competing to detect the cryptid.

Over time, the Yeti became a powerful tourism brand in Nepal. This beast’s foot forms the logo of the domestic carrier, Yeti Airlines, while hotels, restaurants, cafés, and tour companies profit off its name.

Some Nepalis are more skeptical. Sushil, a tour guide, says even as a child he viewed Yetis as a sham. Now, when his customers ask about the monster, he tells them it’s widely considered a myth. Sushil says he dislikes cryptotourism, which steals focus from the country’s remarkable architecture and ancient traditions. “I don’t think the Yeti is a valuable tool to promote Nepal tourism,” he says. “We have a lot of tangible and intangible cultural heritage. Nepal should focus on its rich natural diversity.”

Academics have also offered scientific explanations for the Yeti and other cryptids, yet these legends persist. “People have always been fascinated by things in nature which confuse us, things which we just don’t understand,” says Panday, a Nepali author. “That’s not going to change any time soon.”

10 . Copenhagen has GREAT public transport. It is reliable, safe, and easily accessible. Of course, like everything in Copenhagen, it is not cheap. The system can be a little confusing, even for locals, but we’re here to help simplify it all for you! And today our focus is Travelling with a Bike.

BIKES ON THE TRAIN

Bicycles can be taken on s-tog lines for free but you can’t take bikes through Nørreport station during peak hours. To take your bike on a train, you need to put it on the first or last carriage, clearly marked with large signs of bicycles on the outside.

BIKES ON THE METRO

Bicycles can be taken on the metro for an extra 13 kr. You need to pay for the bike with its own ticket. You can’t take your bike on the metro during peak hours.

BIKES ON THE BUS

You can bring a bike on a bus but each bus is limited to two bikes, even if there is much space. Generally, people do not travel with their bikes on buses in Copenhagen.

BIKES ON THE FERRY(渡轮)

Charges for bicycles depend on the company and the destination. You will need to check with the ferry companies. When you book the ticket, you must state that you have a cycle, even if it’s free of charge.
