This arrived in the mail today….
I’d like to jump in or perhaps just nestle into those pillows with a good book. Feel the breeze on my face. Drag my hand through the water… go sailing!
When I came up with my 30 before Thirty list the one item that seemed like a long shot was the one about sailing… (well actually a lot of them do… I don’t know how to dream small).. I love to sail, but unfortunately my daily life doesn’t provide for that often. I grew up sailing. It’s something special I share with my Daddy. He’s a sailor. He makes it look easy. I do not. Last time I went I threw up over the side… and I did not make it look easy.
I still however love sailing. I love the idea of being directed by the wind. No hurried agenda. It’s wonderful.
Wouldn’t you know that DC Groupon recently had a special deal for DC Sail! So it’s not exactly tropical blue water that we’ll be sailing on, but it’s still sailing and I can’t wait!
Who knew sailing would be one of the first things I checked off my 30 before Thirty list. Stay tuned for full details of our sailing fun.
Have you been sailing? What’s your favorite part?
p.s. I LOVE the song “Sailboats” by Brooke Fraser. Listen here.
[...] roomies and I went sailing this Fall and finally used the Groupon I mentioned here. Not only was it a blast but I can check one more thing off my Thirty before 30 [...]
