Guess I didn't write about this last week, but Damien and I have officially started pursuing our passion for sailing by getting certified at the introductory level of sailing last weekend. Part of it was a standardized test, while the other half was actual sailing. I will say that, true to my nature, I killed the standardized test part (100%, booyah).

I'm looking forward to getting back to SD (I'm in NC now; attended the beautiful wedding of Alfish7 and Heidi tonight) so I can practice some - I want to take the next level classes as soon as I can afford them!

The goal is to be able to take out 36' - 44' out into the ocean; maybe fly down to the Carribean (or the Greek Isles) and sail around ... the peacefulness of that trip soothes me already! :)

I got to walk around the Jeanneau 54' during the class... and I can only say: WOW.
