We had the wind and current with us as we sailed from Branford to Stonington. Nine hours later we were comfortably secured to a great mooring at Dodson’s Boatyard. Sitting in the cockpit while watching the sun setting is simply the best! We are looking forward to our next venture this season.
Sailing is My Peace
Sailing is my peace. Luckily, I have had the opportunity to share this with my children. After my boys (10 and 12) completed their distance learning, we set sail on New Dawn to spend the afternoon replenishing our souls. Sailing provides a refuge from wearing a mask outside, from having to think about COVID19, from having to think about the challenges our world is currently facing. Sailing is an escape. You are one with the salt, sea, sun and wind. You are living for today and enjoying each moment breathing in the freshness that being out on the water without an engine can offer. The smiles say a thousand words without saying one…
“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.” ~ Henry David Thoreau
