Sailing is such a variable sport. There could be no wind, or there could be 25 knots. You never know what you're going to get.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.
Sailing is a completely new sport for me and I wasn't sure what to expect but I've definitely got the bug.
Sailing a boat calls for quick action, a blending of feeling with the wind and water as well as with the very heart and soul of the boat itself. Sailing teaches alertness and courage, and gives in return a joyousness and peace that but few sports afford.
Sailing is a big outlet for me.
My goal in sailing isn't to be brilliant or flashy in individual races, just to be consistent over the long run.
The effect of sailing is produced by a judicious arrangement of the sails to the direction of the wind.
I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.
Sailing is a big outlet for me. It's one of the key things I've been able to do by commingling science with sailing and my love of the sea. Also, I have several motorcycles, and I like to go on motorcycle trips.
I am not a yachting person, by nature, but I have just enough experience on the sea under sail to feel a certain nostalgia for it when I see a big white racing yacht heeled over at cruising speed on the ocean, and I can still tie a mean bowline knot on just about anything in less than 10 seconds.
It is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go.
