Sigh. I'll just imagine doing this instead of what I'm going to be doing today.<br /><br />When I was much younger, I took two series of sailing lessons with my best friend from that time. In order to graduate, we had to demonstrate rigging, sailing (of course), capsizing and righting several different kinds of sailboats. We got into some trouble as the only two-women team. tiffany rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16105832290440620053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-29782967215831282012013-08-23T11:13:36.498-03:002013-08-23T11:13:36.498-03:00Hi Wendy, that truly looks like a lovely day out. ...Hi Wendy, that truly looks like a lovely day out. Like Marie, I'm not one for messing around in boats. The one time I was on a small sailboat was on the Rhine in Germany - a friend was a member of the base yacht club and invited us out for the day. I really didn't feel very safe at all (it was a small boat), so asked them to drop me off whilst they continued on. I sat in the car reading, but glanced up to see the boat turned upside down, the mast scraping along the bottom of the river - our friend had failed to secure the plug (terminology?) properly and they couldn't bail out fast enough. A woman's intuition is the best!!Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05504513116873595049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-1503865407168040882013-08-23T10:12:56.861-03:002013-08-23T10:12:56.861-03:00What a delightful day.

My date was kind enough to turn back and bring me to dry land in the middle of a race. No, we did not end up together.

There are a few Ram Islands off the coast where the rams would be pastured to leave the ewes in peace. I do wish they were still out there.<br /><br />Nothing so grand as messing about in boats, to quote Pooh. The girls had a sailfish to zip about in, I love my kayak the best and we all like to head out on the Whaler. Your friends' boat is lovely and she requires a lot of upkeep with all that wood. But guys love to do this. We didn't get to see your boating wear?<br />Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13175229460841379583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-14704498826214313912013-08-23T08:47:56.425-03:002013-08-23T08:47:56.425-03:00I love that picture of all the cows on the green g...I love that picture of all the cows on the green grass by the water lol.
