Sailing
Sunday, January 15th, 2006I went sailing once with my Dad when I was a kid, and once with my Aunt when I was a teenager. Around 1999 I was reintroduced to sailing by a good friend and that’s when I got the bug, big time. I purchased a 22 foot sailboat and taught myself the basics. Then I swapped that for a 36 foot sailboat! I thought that I had bitten off a bit more than I wanted to chew (note the Atomic Four engine replacement project), so I traded that for a 30 foot sailboat in August of 2001. I have been sailing that boat ever since.
About a year later, in September of 2002, I put up a simple web site about my sailing, with an invitation for folks interested in sailing with me. I was also keeping a separate “blog” of some of the sailing trips. In January of 2006 I took those pieces and combined them into a single project, a new dedicated section of my web site:
I hope folks find this information interesting and useful!
