Sailing, Sailing over the Deep Blue Sea


January 6, 2012
Location: The Pacific Ocean, off the coast of California somewhere between Huntington Beach and Long Beach


One of the best things about southern California is that one day you can be snowboarding in the mountains and the next day you can be sailing on the ocean. It was a beautiful day in January with just enough wind for my first sail. I didn't do much of the sailing, I was mainly along for the ride. However, I did learn how to let down and pull up a sail and tie line off like this picture shows. With the breeze flowing through my hair, the sun shining on my face, and the waves gently rocking the boat, it was the perfect, relaxing way to end my winter break.
