If you have landed here on this page it is probably because you have always loved being on the water.

I know I always have. There is nothing quite so freeing to the body and spirit then soaring across the waves on a hot sunny day with the spray sparkling like diamonds.

Sailing makes me feel like I don’t have a care in the world, like I am in control and like I am a spontaneous, happy and exciting person.

I just love to just sit up on the deck, crack a cold beer open or make myself a delicious lime daiquiri and enjoy the wide blue sky.

I also love sailing at night, particularly on national holidays when fireworks light up the sky. I also get the best view of the glittering city skyline because I don’t have to fight any traffic or crowds!

There is also nothing quite as relaxing as camping out overnight on your sailboat. I like to hitch my boat to a post in a harbour, go out for a fancy meal or make a barbecue and then rock gently all night in my bed in my sailboat as if it was my own personal cradle.

Of course I did not always have this freedom because there was a point in my life where I did not know at all how to sail. I thought a jib was a kind of candy and that "dinghy" was the sound along with a "ringy" that my phone made when it rang.Grab A Copy Click here

In fact I was always one of those passengers on the boat that was constantly being hit in the back of the neck by the boom of the sail. That is how awkward I was on deck. I loved sailing but I had NO sea legs at all!

My friend who owned that particular sailboat always made me wear a life jacket he was so terrified I would be knocked out cold and then clobbered into the water while the boat sped on at a brisk clip.

The first summer that I went sailing I absolutely fell in love with the activity as an enlivening yet meditative sport. I was a good swimmer and a champion boogie boarder but I had never worked up the courage to try and navigate a sailboat and I was dying to learn how!

Although I loved sailing I also became very frustrated at always being at the mercy of other people when it came time to coast the waves. I always had to go along with the crowd and go wherever they wanted to go. I never had much say in the matter because I just did not know my way around the boat.

This sometimes was very frustrating because I have one of those adventurous curious spirits that likes to explore new terrain. I would be the one person in the boat who would want to sail around and see what was on the other side of an island while everybody else was more interested in getting from point A to B.

I soon realized that if I was going to truly enjoy cursing around a beautiful place like the Florida Keys or the beautiful 1000 Islands I was going to have to learn how to sail.
