The Love of Sailing

As a child, I spent a lot of time on the water sailing on the lakes of Utah and occasionally in the Bay of San Francisco when visiting family. There is nothing quite like the feeling of the sail boat skipping across the water, the wind in your hair, and the power of the wind.

When getting ready to head out on the water, it is important to make sure to all the safety checks have been done to ensure everyone has a fun time. Before hitting the water, make sure to check the forecast and local wind and wave conditions; have the proper clothing (cold water can lead to hypothermia, so make sure to dress in layers) and gear ~ don’t forget your seasickness prevention!
