Freedom from responsibility
While I was at the coast working on my 28' S2, I was suddenly invited
to go sailing on an F31 tri. We had about 12 kts wind and it was a blast. 15 kts on a sailboat, waaaaaaay cool. I havent had such a good time sailing in a long time and this puzzled me for nearly 48 hours till I realized why. I almost never go out on other peoples boats meaning I am always the captain so i have to know what I am doing, where i am going, where the shoals are, what my sails are doing, what my guests are doing, what my kids are doing, etc. In this case, I knew I was clueless about handling the tri so I just did as I was told and tried to be helpful. I didnt worry about anything but enjoyed the trip. I did know the captain was very knowledgeable so I could relax and talk to others. So, I suddenly understand why I like to sail by myself too, no responsibility for other people on the boat. Anybody else feel this way? Frogwatch |
