Today I went sailing...
Cleaned the decks for the first time in about three years - that grime sure clings to awlgrip doesn't it? Then, as I had a never-sailed-before friend doing most of the work, I said: 'Bugger this, let go aft...' Motored out to the middle of Pontrarchain, and put the sails up. Light winds but my companion was thrilled by all the 'sailor talk' as he put it... we dibbled about in light winds (my boat is probably 24,000LB) but then, as if by magic, it whipped up to 30-40.. oh happy day! The boat leant right over as we creamed through to sea.. exhilarating! Anyway, we docked about three hours later and, after tidying things away, walked to my car - he says: 'I'm feeling like I've just had a high - and it lasted for all that time - and I'm *still* high'..' with this big grin on his face! I'm glad he had such a good time (He now calls himself 'Number One') :-) -- Molesworth |
