Thank you ALL, so much! T

The instructor we had on the last trip out was a different person than the one we had on all prior occasions, and it made a world of difference (in that the first was very conscious of not making anyone uncomfortable with anything). The fact that the 2nd instructor controlled the main sail while a student controlled the rudder also contributed, I think, to the discomfort.

Although we were dressed appropriately for the change in weather, I do know that I'm going to put a life jacket on next time we're in less than ideal conditions - that would have helped ease my fear of ending up in the water...

I plan to read, read, read this week, and then be prepared to ask our instructor any and all questions I have at our next outing.

Thank you for validating my decision to move forward in the hopes that with more experience and knowledge I will soon be able to love this (hopefully) new part of our lives.
