Over the weekend I had the pleasure of heading out on the water for the first time since arriving in Miami back in February.
While I may have been out of the sailing game for a bit, it was loads of fun to be back out on the water, to hear the countdown to start, and to feel all those pre-race jitters, even from afar. So much effort and focus is directed into each move, whether it’s in the pulling in of a sail, the flattening of a boat after a roll tack, or the heat of a downwind leg, always looking behind you to make sure no one is catching up.
Miami is a particularly beautiful backdrop for sailing, the combination of the turquoise blue warm water with the big puffy white clouds is hard to beat.
