Sailing
While eating lunch (leftover peas and Mac N' Cheese from the boys) I was catching up on my brother Josh's blog. From his blog I went to Just Run's blog, I don't know her but had seen her comment on Josh's blog. She has an incredible opportunity to sail on a 65' Ketch for two weeks. This reminded me of the 15 + years that I raced on sailboats. Some of the best and worst times of my life were on sailboats. Port Huron to Mackinac, freezing my ass off for 4 days and nights saying I'd never do another one, I did 7. Key West Race Week, 10 days of sailing and drinking rum, riding mopeds and laughing at the weirdo's. In the summer of '89 I raced 63 times, the best summer of my life. One of my favorite things to do was to sit on the high side, face into the wind and think. A great way to put life into perspective, my advice to Just Run is DO IT.I haven't been on a boat in at least 4 years, this must change, I feel the itch.
