Hello all.
I've always wanted to learn to sail. Recently a Sunfish fell into my lap and I am now attempting to learn to sail her. My first foray into the water brought a great deal of excitment, adreniline, and of course a small amount of blood, and a large amount of embarassment. BUt man! was it FUN!!!!! : )
I'm in West Central Florida, not too far from Tampa. Are there any organizations for Sunfish owners in this area?
I'm planning on taking her out again today, after fixing the small tear in the sail, and reattaching the rudder....I think I'll find a place where the current arn't quite so strong this time....and of course the wind isn't blowing at 20 mph. I've discovered that to be a bit fast for your first attempt at sailing anything.
See? I'm learning already!
