Sailing




Over the weekend I had the privilege to do something totally foreign to me, sailing. I've seen sail boats on TV but never in person, so actually getting to be on one was amazing. The weather was perfect on Sunday and despite my uncertainty of wind, the boat picked up some speed. On the cruise around Lake Mangonia we also saw a few bird species. Mostly though, we enjoyed the peace and had a fun time out on the water. I still need to get use to the way the boat moves with the sail. Sometimes I felt like I was going to fall out but I trusted the skills of my friend.

Below is a peek at the inside of the storage closet. I love the colors of the sails and jackets and wood rudders. I could get use to riding in a boat like this more often.
