Oh! And sailing. St. Maarten again. Honeymoon. No sailing experience. Rented a little sailboat.⛵️.
Off shore breeze. Sailing out to sea Yippee. Look at me I am sailing (bill murray what about bob). Wait a minute! How do I get back to shore? Wait for the wind to turn around on shore (like Bo Derek's husband in "10")?
Turns out there is more to sailing than meets the eye. After I got towed in 🥹, (Red face was not sunburn). I read the Glennan's Manual for Sailing. Oh, you need to come about or a jib turn and then TACK (on the verge of the luff). Lesson learned.
p.s. wife did not leave me.

@shmerdloff I learned to sail in summer camp growing up...a little sunfish that held two people. Ocean sailing has to be so different. I have often wondered if I can sell the house, buy a boat and just go around all over...that would be so cool!
