Learning to sail

I've had my first solo outing on my Bristol 27. I can say this: of all the ways to change the world, and all the ways to see it, a sailboat is in the least, a good way to leave all the madness behind and embrace the beauty. I hope to continue to enjoy the smiling sunshine of good fortune, and that the problems I face in this new endeavour simply leave me broke, as O currently am. My ship is far from ready for cruising, but it is far from a bucket so I feel I can make a few improvements and put some honest work into her to strengthen her integrity and bring out her beauty.

I long to sail, to be free from this changeless society. It feels stagnant to remain in a 7 day week, always doing the same thing the majority of the time. Though sailing is one thing and technically speaking, to sail everyday is to do the same thing, it is doing the same thing with the wind, sun, and spirit that the two elicit. I long to sail, to be freed from wasted hopefulness.
