She said she can't describe the feeling of freedom. I get that.<BR/><BR/>I think sailing with the wind makes for a better life rather than plowing through it and causing waves with your motorboat :)studio lolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15363808478293833466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-166466078612863791.post-73101917417130537972008-08-27T05:21:00.000-05:002008-08-27T05:21:00.000-05:00not my thing..i like terra firma.what about the sc...not my thing..i like terra firma.<BR/>what about the scuba diving you were gonna try? hubby's just been away on a 4 day diving trip and loved it, feels totally rejuvenated.soulbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16879115279499153124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-166466078612863791.post-6843082590497252832008-08-27T05:13:00.000-05:002008-08-27T05:13:00.000-05:00sail on, dear debra kay...sail on, dear debra kay...kjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122196887043345981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-166466078612863791.post-30849963534723804172008-08-27T05:01:00.000-05:002008-08-27T05:01:00.000-05:00I've been sailing two or three times, always as a ...I've been sailing two or three times, always as a passenger. Once in San Francisco bay the boat almost fell over and I thought "ok, I'll just swim to shore" forgetting that NO ONE has ever escaped from Alcatraz and lived because of the sharks! And the next time we got boarded by the Coast Guard - and they had GUNS! And I think I've blocked the other time. <BR/><BR/>But the theory is good! Tacking and using the wind? I like it.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12409455543895086283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-166466078612863791.post-15921378192244639152008-08-26T18:36:00.000-05:002008-08-26T18:36:00.000-05:00I married into sailing.
