why sailing?

As I had mentioned before, my father left a legacy of sailing. I seem to be the only one of his girls that inherited his love of sailing. He taught me everything I know about sailing. He was a natural teacher and not only taught me, but any crew member who was willing to learn. Teaching maintence of boats was critical to him, especialy since our sailboat was wooden. We made about 8 trips to Bernuda.The last trip was the first leg in their trip around the world and Bermuda would be the culmination of the trip. Going to Bermuda was a good shake down cruise. It took us anywhere from 5 to 15 days to go from the Chesapeake Bay to Bermuda. The trip lenght was dependent on the weather and we encoutered all kinds of weather! I know this blog seems a bit rambling, but I would like to use it as a springboard for several topics, So if you can hang in there, soom you will see...... I would like to talk about Bermuda, my summer home; the weather,the green flash; boat maintance......
