why sailing

I am new at this bloging- so a sense of humor would be appreciated.

Why sailing? Was the question of my marketing representative.Her question struck a chord with me, as somehow I had thought everyone would know the answer.( a chuckle emiting from readers would be ok at this point) But, then I knew she was looking for the origin of my passion for sailing expressed in the book I wrote( Sailing Ships and Thee). My father was the one who passed on this legacey of sailing as I also realize my husband's father started the same passion for sailing burning in his heart. And how do I know my dad and my husband's dad passed on their legacey? It is because each of them passed on, yes a passion for sailing in general, but the specific or limit on sailing was passed on too--crusing for me, racing for my husband.

You see my dad's goal in life was to sail around the world while my husband's dad wanted( as he told me) to win every race no matter what boat he was sailing. Did they accomplish their dream for sailing?

Oops- I just heard the dryer buzzer go off-I have to get back to you later!
