I have had some experience sailing in my lifetime, ever since I was twelve I could sail with ease. I spent some time in the New Hampshire area at a camp during the summer months where they the counselors taught me to sail. I mastered the Sunfish and Sailfish, and was invited to sail on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire on a two masted schooner. I loved my time, well spent learning to read the water of the changes in wind direction and speed. Since this time frame was without GPS I was also taught how to read the old style of ship navigation using a marine sextant.

I still enjoy the feeling of sailing as I am returning to the type of sailing using no engine in flying called soaring as well. I prefer to have at my capable hands the means to travel with out the need to expend fossil fuels to do so!
