About 4 years ago, a good friend asked if I would consider joining him on a week long "cruise and learn" sailing course. He'd been riding along with his brothers on sailing trips for a while and he decided it was time to learn how to be a proper sailer. At first I balked at joining, mostly because I thought I'd sink a bunch of money into learning only to let it all slip away because it was too expensive to charter boats. In the end I relented, and in the end I was right. But fortunately (or unfortunately) I caught the sailing bug in the process so I did the only thing I could do: I found a willing accomplice and bought a used sailboat. That accomplice is my friend and colleague David, also an enthusiastic neophyte sailor. This is the story of our boat acquisition and our unfolding adventures on her. I invite you to laugh, cringe, judge (if you must) our experiences with us as they happen. Thanks for visiting.
