Sailing Lesson Number Juan
I know that it has been quite some time between postings here on LimpetRacing. It is not from lack of amazing experiences I have had this summer. I had a couple great cruising adventures with Limpet, and attended the San Juan Western Nationals in Coos Bay Oregon. I will undoubtedly get together some belated posts on those outings in future weeks. One of the major insights from my experience at Nationals is that I clearly suck as a sailboat racer. My traditional back 1/3 finishes in Fleet #1 races translated into near dead last finishes with the increased competition of Nationals. Luckily I went to Evergreen where I learned one of life’s most valuable lessons… “You can learn anything. . . if you know how to learn.” The first step in learning you ask? Get a good teacher.
