Yo Soy Marinero

Of the past 4 days, I've spent at least a few hours each day on a sailboat.  My head, here on land, doesn't quite feel stable...  As I sit here writing, I kinda feel like I'm still moving.

Thursday night/Friday morning we sailed from Soloman's Island up the Chesapeake Bay to Annapolis.  Sailing in the middle of the night on the bay was cool.  It was also my first real experience sailing, and was cool.  After we got to Annapolis, I went to work all day.

Then, Saturday and Sunday I went to sailing school on the Potomac.  I went to the Belle Haven marina, and had a great time.  I actually feel pretty comfortable with sailing on the little 14' boat we were practicing on, and came away feeling good.  At the end they gave me a certificate and a card showing that I took a class and know the basics...
