I'm sailing...I sail...I'm a sailor.

 

'Guess what...ahoy...I sail now out on a boat on the lake way far away from the dock into the wind and the sky and everything'

Today I went on a sailing trip with my department at work.  It was sooo much fun!  We were cruising at 20 knots...okay...I don't actually know what that means or if it's true but it sounds cool.  It was a beautiful fall day out on the sound.  The beginning of the trip was pretty intense, we were tipping over so much that I thought we might tip all the way over, but of course the crew knew what they were doing. 

It would be so much fun to start sailing more in the summer.  I hear that if you're out in the sea for an extended period of time you can smell the earth when you approach shore, just like you can smell the ocean when you approach it.  I want to experience that sometime in my life.  New goal: go on an extended sailing trip!

What a blessed person I am, to have the opportunity to do fun things like this, and in such a beautiful place.  Seattle is so gorgeous!!!!

p.s. if you have a sail boat and are reading this I wouldn't mind an invite to go for a spin :-)
