I am in the process of obtaining my boater's certificate so I can rent power boats this summer any time I want. Note that I said RENT! I will take our girls boating and they can learn how to water ski and go tubing, too. Family time! But this is just a start...
The REALLY cool thing that I am going to do is learn to sail! This one is FOR ME!!
I am REALLY excited about this. I came up with this for a number of reasons. First, it's awesome! Next, it fits really well with my current career and utilizes the knowledge I use everyday on my job. I understand navigation and meteorology and that will be put to use in sailing. I like the outdoors and like to travel. It is also something I can do on my own if I choose and it will be a great tool to help clear my head.
Other reasons for choosing sailing is that it is something we can do as a family. It also will be a great way to meet new people and make new friends. Lastly, I know my wife loves sailing. If she chooses to stay with me, it is something we can do together.
I am changing course!
PF, I think this is great. I have been sailing for many years and enjoy it greatly. What I recently added to sailing was racing. I am part of the crew of a boat that races every Wed night from Spring to Fall. If you get into sailing, I suggest visiting the local clubs, etc. to find out about racing. The advantage of racing is you'll be with others who have a shared interest, it builds camaraderie, and you'll make friends. Good luck.
