Sailing

SAILING!  

Last weekend I got to go out sailing on Prime Mover, a 36' Farr 1104.  Really awesome day out on the water.  We did a race around the entire harbor.  It is wonderful to connect with people through the sport I have come to realize I am never going to give up.  It was beautiful and we had a fair amount of breeze.  I feel so much more connected to a place after spending time out on the water.  

I got there first and the owner, Sean, told me where the keys were and said I could get things started.  Really trusting considering he only knew me from a few email messages.  

Upwind!  I did the keys downwind so I was too busy to get any shots of the spin.  

The crew!  Notice anything, yep dudes...glad to represent the lady sailors out there.  I am determined to learn a ton about keel-boat racing and get my fellow ladies into the big boat game.  Also these guys were REALLY cool about me being on board.  In retrospect they were probably expecting a young fit guy, Ashley is a unisex name here!  

Another boat out on the water, just to make the sailing folk jealous of the breeze and sunshine :)
