The West Wind

Join Jack, Franny, and J.J. in their adventures as they learn to sail on Lake Winnipesaukee! After a couple weeks of classes at the sailing school, the kids go sailing on a blustery day in September and get the chance to return a favor to an old family friend.

Andy Opel and his family have been coming to the lake for five generations. He is a writer, filmmaker, and musician who teaches documentary video production and environmental communication at Florida State University. To see his other work visit: www.andyopel.net.
