Sailing is not for everyone. If you want boating that is easy and gets you somewhere fast, then sailing is not for you. If you find attractive a sport involving some complexity and work to harness basic forces of nature, then you might enjoy sailing.

If you would like to learn a little about sailing before going out:

• Basic sailing information and terminology
• U.S. Sailing on-line tutorials

• Sneaker-type shoes, preferably light-soled (Please, no dark soles that leave marks, such as tire-tread sandals and some black-soled sneakers).
• Warmer clothes than you think you need, perhaps a wind breaker even in summer (On cold days in the late fall, winter, or early spring, dress like you are going skiing).
• Water, sun-screen, maybe something to eat (But no messy food, no food that can stain, no crumbly food, no food requiring eating utensils, and for wine drinkers only white wine).
• Your own lifejacket if you have one (Otherwise, I will provide you one).

I sail all times of the year, including showery weather, but avoid steady rain.
