I grew up sailing in the North Sea.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I like to sail. My son Caden and I are avid sailors.
I grew up in Pittwater, north of Sydney; Elvina Bay, Scotland Island area. I had to go to school by boat. To get to the mainland, we had to go by boat, so it was just a way of life.
Sailing is a big outlet for me.
As long as I can remember, I've been writing - first poems, then stories, and by my early teenage years I was also in love with sailing.
I was never part of the sailing circle, but I enjoy when I'm invited to sail.
I sailed a bit as a child, but it wasn't until I was around 40, when I was halfway through Patrick O'Brian's 'Master and Commander' novels, that I had the sudden epiphany that I had to go sail on a square-rig ship.
We enjoy sailing small boats, two of which I have designed and built myself.
I started sailing because I had to stop playing tennis so much, as I had bad knees.
I love sailing but hate cruise ships.
I grew up in Newquay, on the Atlantic coast and there developed a love of the sea and boats.
