He is heading up the project of getting a youth sailing program started. Years ago, like more than 25 years ago there was an organization at the park that taught young people to sail. The sailing stopped after the lake filled up with silt to the point that sailing was difficult. The boats had been stored in an old boathouse for all those years. A couple of years ago the sailboats were moved and the old boathouse was razed. A new boathouse has been built in the past few weeks.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_366\" style=\"width: 440px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-366\" class=\"size-large wp-image-366\" title=\"IMG_4750\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/IMG_47502-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"The Boat House\" width=\"430\" height=\"300\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-366\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Boat House<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Looking for a fun activity to do, the young men in Crew 6 have cleaned up the boat house and the two rowboats that were extremely dirty.
