Sailor
You’ve always wanted to learn to sail. You are almost ready to sign up for that sailing school but your fears keep holding you back. Well, no more excuses.
Maybe you don’t know how to swim. Lots of sailors can’t swim. The chances of you going in the water are small because only the small dinghies have much risk of tipping over. As long as you are not sailing alone and the boat is decent size, there is little chance of going overboard. Plus you will have a life jacket and the you will make sure your crew is practiced in crew-recovery procedures. Not knowing how to swim is no excuse!
What about seasickness? This is real but it is not a valid excuse. Lots of sailors have it and deal with it. There is medication available to ease it but another way to deal with it is activity. Busy yourself with sailing the boat. If you are not sailing at the moment, find some other activity. The key is to keep your mind occupied and the seasickness will not have a chance to take hold.

Modern sailing vessels and equipment are available that enable just about anyone to sail with ease and excel at it too. Read the rest of this entry »
