Dear Outdoor Enthusiast:
|
|
| Remember when you first learned to ride your bike? Put on a pair of skis for the first time? Remember the adrenaline rush as you wobbled down the driveway (or slope)? Do you ever wonder what it would be like to again ride that euphoric rush of a new and challenging experience? |
|
| I'm talking about Sailing...the ultimate Adventure on one of our vast frontiers! |
|
| Quite frankly, it's really difficult to explain what it's like...this joy called sailing. I can only tell you that it is an energy unlike anything else you've experienced. Ever. |
|
| I could describe the sudden sense of freedom as the sails fill with wind. Rejuvenation. Relaxation. A total release from stress as the sun caresses you. Your boat gently gliding through those glassy crests. The sound of the wind ruffling the canvas, and the smiles on the faces of those beside you as you unleash your spirit to the energy of the sea. Confidence. |
|
| But you won't really understand. Until you do it. |
|
Sailing has changed my life.
