Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication
So sailing seemed like a nice relaxing hobby,a way to waste some time on the lake or bay on a nice summer day. Something I’ve always been interested in but there’s been other passions keeping me busy (family,sports and such).
Well after my fourth child was born I picked up a used sunfish for cheap thinking I’d learn to sail when mom was with him on the weekends. Then I could teach him and we’d sail together when he was old enough.
Well as life often does here came a curveball, number 5!!!
Ok sunfish sat a couple years,but that day finally came, I took her out last Sunday. What a blast!! Thinking I understood the concept of sailing and trying to put this knowledge to work proved challenging,exciting,exhilarating,even scary. Although I didn’t capsize I’m pretty sure I came close, but I sure got wet.
Well I took her out again after work and navigated out and back across Lake Ronkonkoma again without flipping. Victory!!!.
I was a long time lurker and my only regret is not sailing sooner. This was much more adrenaline inducing then I thought it be, not at all the lazy sit back relax and watch the time pass activity I assumed it was.
