I’ve sailed only a couple of times. My first wife worked with a teacher who lived on a small island and owned a 27 ft yacht. We went out with him and his wife and I loved taking the helm, working the sheets, and generally helping to sail the boat. There’s something very special about finding the wind and allowing it to control the boat at the speed and in the direction you choose.
I once went sailing with colleagues. We planned on a picnic-on-the-boat. What we got was stuck on a sandbar for hours and had a very leisurely picnic-on-the-boat until the tide freed us 🙂 I still think sailing is, as someone captioned, sublime!
There is, isn’t there? Years ago I used to sail quite a lot, both on Lake Ontario and on small lakes on the prairies. It is such an amazing experience. I was never a very good sailor, but I enjoyed it.
Beautiful pictures 🌹🌹

One of those lovely life surprises that at first seems like a problem. 😊

Nothing like a white sail on a blue lake. Happy Sunday and Happy autumn Lynette. Allan

Thanks, Allan. It’s such an iconic sight, isn’t it? We stopped to watch this one and a couple of others for a long time. Such sleek, pretty boat.

Years ago, I used to sail on Lake Ontario. I was never a very good sailor though – safe but not a lot more – and much preferred to watch them!

I tried sailing a few times but never got the knack of it. I’ve always loved canoeing though.

Yes, I used to enjoy canoeing as well! Worked much better for me than sailing, too.
