Indiana, also known as the Hoosier State, is a magical land that's not just about cornfields and the Indy 500. Somewhere amidst its many lakes, our story unfolds. Here, a tribe of young, fun-loving, and adventurous kids are creating ripples, quite literally! Meet Captain Chuckles, a jolly old river otter with a quirky hat and a sailor's spyglass, who lives in the state's largest natural lake, Lake Wawasee. Captain Chuckles has a secret – he's been teaching the Hoosier kiddos the art of sailing. Yes, you heard it right! Sailing, right here in Indiana! These aren't ordinary kids; they are the ‘Indy Wind-gliders’ as Captain Chuckles fondly calls them. They expertly tack, jibe, and sail across the Indiana lakes under the watchful eyes of their otter coach. Their laughter and cheers echo across the water, scaring the fish and causing the ducks to quack in amusement. Every now and then, a gust of wind will puff up their sails and off they go, zooming across the lake like rockets, leaving a trail of frothy white water in their wake. If you squint real hard, you might even catch sight of Captain Chuckles, belly laughing atop his floating otter house, applauding his young sailors, his whiskers fluttering in the breeze, and his hat nearly flying off his head! In the heart of Indiana, these young sailors and their otter coach make the lakes come alive every day, transforming it into a sailor's paradise, right in the middle of the cornfields. So, hold on to your hats, folks. There’s never a dull moment when you're sailing with the Indy Wind-gliders and Captain Chuckles!
