Dinghy

Hi,

I can't believe I survived the cold, wet conditions of the bay today. Finally, something I've always wanted to try, sailing, was within my grasp. There were four of us, along with one instructor, who showed us how to set up a sail, make all the appropriate ties and knots along the "mast" and show us how to turn and steer the boat. We also had a capsize test, where we jumped into the salty waters of the bay and flip the boat right side up. I did that five times today. Five. What they say is true, even without the sun being visible, sunburn can occur, and I definitely got darker after today's activities. More tomorrow.

Good night,
Sh.
