I started diving a couple of years ago after taking the kids to Key West on spring break. While there I bought the kids mask and snorkels and ended up taking over one set myself. It was unbelievable just snorkeling around off the beach watching the fish and conch in the clear water.
The other thing from this vacation that mesmerized me was all of the sailboats. They were so beautiful and graceful. Growing up in Indiana, I never had a true appreciation for them even after living on the East Coast for the last 20+ years.
OK, when I came home from that vacation I decided that I was going to either take diving or sailing lessons. Well, the dive shop was closer then the marina, and I thought at the time diving would be cheaper then sailing (if I had only known) so I ended up getting certified and fell in love with our sport.
This weekend I am going to get to fulfill the other part of my dream from that vacation. We are going down to Annapolis for the long weekend and taking sailing lessons. There is an ASA school that is offering a holiday weekend, three days for the price of two, basic sailing course. I am very excited.
Well, any advice out there for the future sailor? I know one of the hardest parts of the weekend will be to restrain myself from doing a backroll into the water. Im being good though and leaving the dive gear at home, but hey, a snorkel and mask wouldnt hurt, would they?
