First Sail


The rain slaps my face as though it is reminding me to stay awake. Not the kind of stay awake slap that says stop sleeping but the kind that says “you’re alive! Live your life.”

It’s easy to start thinking of a beach in Belize, where just the thought of the warmth of the sun somehow makes you warmer. That mysterious girl sunbathing in her bikini gets you hot...you think how sexy she would look bringing you a coconut to cool you off!
 But the rain carrying winds sort of act like Viagra on your hair and all of it seems to be as erect as the ads claim they would be.......the hair ofcourse..... However, trying to maneuver this 70 ton boat with giant sheets as an energy source is quite exciting. Truly a force of mother nature can move this sloop effortlessly..... Never have I experienced this but somehow i feel i was born to be here.....it doesn’t overwhelm me. In fact nothing does, it all seems exciting. Maybe it was written u think.... One of the harshest first sails but that just makes it even more fun. Everything is wet but it’ll get better. I am slightly under prepared but that’s just me. Night falls…..the moon shines proudly ruling over the dark secrets of the ocean...The sound of the water and the motion of the boat as I sleep remind me of my mother’s lap. The sailboat is an amazing thing.
