Ship ahoy!

I have sailed! Finally, for the first time in my life!

I booked a twilight sailing trip on the harbour for Dwayne and my self, on a big racing yacht. The boat was called Merit, and they do the Sydney to Hobart race on her. She also did the Volvo Ocean Race back in the 90's. It was great! We got to help crew the boat, and we stopped near the headlands to have a beer and watch a sailing race take off to sea. Very good way to spend a Friday evening!

Now I have two problems to solve:
1) How to learn to sail. I really had no idea what was going on.
2) How to afford a boat, once I learn to sail. Just a small one will do, I am not aiming for Hobart.

Captain Henriksson at the helm!

I know what I'm doing. Really, I do.

How would we have gotten the main sail up without the help of a strong man and an amazon woman?
