TeachStreet Learns to Sail (sort of)
June 15th, 2008 by Dave
Last week, we decided that it was time to bust out of the office and find ourselves — we’d had enough of feature prioritization, scrum/sprint planning and meetings! So, we packed up and headed to Seattle’s Center for Wooden Boats — if you haven’t been there before, you should definitely check it out. Not only are they a TeachStreet teacher/school with tons of great boatbuilding classes, but they have a fantastic facility for offsites (we rented the upstairs library for a discussion of TeachStreet Values, Philosophy, and more).
Afterward, they also arranged a 2 hour sail on Lake Union — while it was a little overcast, we had a great day and also got to experience some of the rowing skills (video below) of team members Fred, Sam and Scott — not sure why rowing should have been necessary, but sometimes that’s what it takes to get back to solid ground!
