A Lot of Goodness: Sailing Adventures!

To complete the celebration of turning 30 this year, I organized a sailing adventure with a few girlfriends. I have been eyeing Manhattan By Sail for a couple of years now so I figured nows as good a time as any to do a sail around the NY Harbor. Now, none of us have ever sailed. And it's worth a mention that 3 out of the 5 of us don't know how to swim (myself included) so while we were a bit hesitant on somehow falling off the sailboat or wondering where we were going to sit, we all did astoundingly well and had a great time. It was completely relaxing and gave us a great view of the Statue of Liberty. I'd recommend it and am eager to go back and do their sunset sail next!

Here are the photos from the sail. The weather started out cloudy, but by the time we were heading back to the marina, the sun was shining and was hot. I'm glad we did the first sail of the day. Also worth mentioning that the crew was great and worked very hard. Our seats gave us a vantage point of watching them as they knotted ropes and moved the sails around - - seemed very complicated from my stand point, though intriguing. Too bad I didn't know how to swim, otherwise I would sign up for sailing lessons!
