I had to go to a meeting at work just after we came in from sailing and I just sat there with a stupid grin on my face and could not concentrate on the meeting at all.
LOL I still get that. Last week I went sailing at 5 am before I had to go to my classes at uni. It was a PERFECT day and I was stuck with that grin all through my classes.
One of my friends even said "If I didnt know any better Id say your in love"
.. I am, I really am.
Ok, I have only been out on my boat a few times. In really light winds due to cold water temps. Today was the third time about 70 in the air and still chilly water. The winds were light but 10 - 12 with gusts 15 a little freaky for that cold of water. Now, I have sailed a few other times but not much and in very warm water so filpping a 19' Prindle was actualy fun.
The other day I was reading throught this and thought to my self,It is fun but...
So today it dawns on me that I was acutaly starting to understand the many little pieces of info I have read on these threads and I am doing the righ things, roll tacs, controlled gybes, sheet out & head up to slowdown.......
After a few hours of this, I land the boat, de-rig, climb in the truck, start driving home, thinking damnn I'm tired that is actualy like work and slowly I notice that I have what can only be discribed as a Hobie Grin on my stupid face.
It was an Awesome DAY!!!!!
