Justin and I have a pretty lofty dream...we want to sail around the world someday. All in due time I suppose, but for now we are taking a boathandling/seamanship class at the community college. Baby steps. Every Tuesday we are submerged in a flood of nautical terminology and safety guidelines. This week we spent most of the time cruising up and down the Cape Fear River. We took out a little Jon Boat and learned the basics of starting it, steering it, and to my surprise, were asked to do donuts at a pretty high speed. It was fun, especially for someone like me who has never even touched a tiller or started a boat of any kind.
My next step is to get my diving certification and then who knows...maybe my Captain's license.
