Sailing in the New York harbor
Since we did not have any plans to go away for this long week-end, we
signed up for a basic sailing class (ASA Basic Keelboat standard) - primarily in
order to get a bit out onto the water. The class turned out to be pretty
intense, with a lot of theory and vocabulary sections... It was a good idea to
take it on a long week-end with another day to relax afterwards! The weather and
wind conditions were excellent during both days so we did have a lot of great
sailing. Learning to sail in the New York harbor can be a bit stressful, with
currents, and very busy traffic situations, but I guess as Frankie S. used to
say - if you can make it here, you can make it
anywhere...
