Sailing Without Him

[heidistime]

Some would say I am not ready to leave the dock with out him. I don''t have all the experience I need to take "her" (Capri 30) out of the marina on my own. I have just enough and full courage. Of course, on a fair weather day. I will do this while he is away sailing the North Polar ice cap this summer. Am I a fool? Anyone with encouragement. This is lake sailing, not offshore.

Heidi:

If you are nervous about taking the boat out by yourself, ask a friend to go with you. They will be there for moral support and you''ll have a great time showing off your sailing skills.

You may want to talk to your local coast guard auxilliary people. They''ll be able to help you create a checklist of things that you need to do before during and after you leave the dock.

I sail our 26'' with my mother and sisters. We have a great visit and my husband gets to relax and fish back on shore.
