Try Sailing with Me
You can go sailing with me even if you know nothing about sailing and have never sailed before,
and I can teach you a little about sailing.
I sometimes take out friends who mainly just want to take a boat ride on the river, but my
main interest in taking others out is to help people who have a strong interest in learning
about sailing and who want to participate actively in sailing the boat.
Sailing is definitely 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 may enjoy sailing.
If you would like to learn a little about sailing before going out:
What to bring with you sailing:
- Light-soled, sneaker-type shoes
(Please, no dark soles that leave marks)
.
- 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.
