I’ve decided that I want to learn how to sail. Actually, I decided that almost exactly 2 years ago, but now I’ve decided to do something about it. I had my first lesson today. It was kind of chilly out there on the water, but there was a nice sunset as we were heading back in, and it was fun and interesting.

I got to Long Beach a bit early, so I killed a bit of time taking Pictures around Shoreline Village.

So, now I know the difference between the main sail and the jib, and I can tell a halyard from a sheet, and any day now I’ll be able to say with great conviction that “The albatross and the whales they are my brothers”.
