I'm 51, 5 years ago was bitten by the sea bug on a trip from Tortola to Miami on a motor yacht.
pssst....I have a kinda severe case of dyslexia and am financially challenged, however, never before have I missed hitting what I've put my heart and mind to and both heart and mind are set to buy a small sailboat in 2010.
I'll go where the boat is Toronto Captains license in hand, limited funds, modest means of making a living moor until I set up my boat take small trips to build my confidence and see which way I blow.
On that trip 5 years ago we saw 3 days of large seas the Captain was very inexperienced and got us into a few jams ....running up a coral reef off the Bahamas was particularly memorable for me but I saw how I handled my initial seasickness my watch, cooking etc and have never forgotten the wind and the sea. Landlubbing has been made passe.
Tania Aebi is a revelation of sorts and I'm not expecting to live forever.
