Some six months ago or so, Adrienne awakened a hidden away desire in me to sail. Not just day sail around on lakes or in bays but serious off shore, blue water, live on the boat, sail around the world sailing.
All she had to say was the one little sentence "I would like to learn to sail, I have always wanted to sail."
Pandora's box had been opened. As with all things that I take on, I want to learn it all right here and right now. Before most people would get the chance to take their first lesson, I have already bought dozens of books, picked out my favorite sailboat at the boat shows, bought my first sail boat, and circumnavigated the world twice. Luckily my head first, full steam ahead methodology is well tempered by Adrienne's slower and more practical approach to things. So at this point I can only report that we are lacking a sail boat, I only have maybe a dozen books and my head is full of the knowledge that comes from countless hours spent pouring over sail boats on eBay & Craigslist. But tomorrow is a new day and with it comes our first sailing lesson. Stick around and see what shenanigans we can get ourselves into!
