Senior Madison Davenport and sophomore Cyrus Ogle leap into freezing Lake Washington water to prepare for an upcoming survival suit race. On Oct. 3 students of the Ballard Maritime Academy practiced sailing, paddle boarding, kayaking, as part of the Ballard Maritime Academy retreat at SailSandpoint. Other important maritime activities included righting a sailboat which has been flipped and taking over boats by force, which is popular among the academy’s pirates.
