A few years ago - the phone rang and on the other end was a guy asking me if I could teach him to sail around the world - I had five years to do it before he retired. I said it could be done but he'd need to get started on learning to sail right away.
I got him in a boat in a sailing fractional ownership program because he was new and wasn't sure if sailing was totally for him yet.
Well - actually that was 5 years ago now. Alan doesn't necessarily want to sail around the world anymore but he has done some cool sailing trips including from Fort Laurderdale to Corpus Christi, Texas, The british virgin islands twice, and Croatia.
He is hooked on sailing and is now a pretty competent sailor.
The point of this post is that if some one wants to get into sailing - well - just get started. It's simple - it's certainly fun because you end up sailing to really cool places like the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, the Pacific and even just out for a nice night sail. And - you get to say that you did something that is a little different.
Speaking of different, in the next post I'm going to talk about adventure sailing with a company called Seafaring360 it's about sailing all over the world.
