Sailing — The Natural Next Step
Once windsurfing started to click, I wanted to push further into the world of sailing. That led me to a 4-day sailing course in Goa in May 2014, where I got to sail three very different boats – the Pico, the Bahia, and the Dart.
The course covered the fundamentals: handling a sailboat, reading wind and water, and sailing around a full course from start to finish. Capsize recovery ended up being an unexpected highlight – equal parts challenging and genuinely fun, in that way where you’re laughing halfway through even as you’re scrambling to right the boat.
It’s been a while since I’ve been out on the water, but sailing is one of those skills I’d love to pick back up again soon.
Here are some of my pictures from that trip.
