I haven’t talked much about the sailing trip we took a month-or-so ago.

and that’s with good reason.

there were things regarding the decision to go that ended up causing an unfortunate outcome.

with me and a friend.

I’ll leave it at that.

what I can say is it was fun.

27 feet for 4 people ain’t much.

nor is one bucket for everything.

but it was fun.

I have a weird disorder in that I can sleep amazingly on boats.

even in horrible conditions.

I was supposed to be first on the helm when we took left but I was sleeping.

I was sleeping when it was my turn again and Lori had to take over.

I finally got up and took over.

and then fell asleep at the helm.

I don’t want to say I got us lost.

but I got us lost.

we were headed to Belgium by the time everyone realized.

meaning, with the wind, we had to take 3 left turns [so to speak] to get going south again.

I wasn’t allowed to touch anything after that.

but it was fun.

we made it to the coast of France.

but never France itself.

considering 4 adults made it across the busiest shipping lane in the world, I think we they did well.

we explored the Channel Islands and sailed some more.

and then we went home.

it was fun.

a good experience.

but next time I’m bringing some Red Bull.

and maybe another bucket.
