Sailing

It's done! After waiting for the rainy spring to pass, I have finally mustered the courage to take my first official sailing class. This past week, I booked a 2-day sailing class held on a local lake. So in July, I'll be on the lake - and in the classroom - taking my first strokes in the art of sailing.

Sailing is on my list of "to do items before I leave earth". So is hot air ballooning, sky diving, finishing my novel. Somehow, sky diving seems less intimidating than the novel.

I became interested in sailing when I traveled to Mexico awhile back and had a chance to take a day cruise. Ever since then, I've been reading about it and thinking about how I'd like to learn more about it.
