We took Frodo out for a sail on Monday in Biscayne Bay to make sure everything was working properly and to test out our newly installed lazy jacks. It was a beautiful sunny day with temperatures in the mid-80's and winds blowing at 14-20 knots with 1-2 foot waves in the bay. There wasn't many other boats in the bay being a Monday, but we always managed to head for another boat no matter what direction we pointed. It was nice just sailing with no engine running in the background. We put on the autopilot and both enjoyed the sun on our faces and the wind in our hair. Listening to only the splashing of the waves against the hull and the wind in the sails. I find myself at peace and taking in the moment because I know I must treasure the time I have right now. I know when I go back to land that I will miss being on the water and these moments of complete serenity. I now realize how much I really enjoy being on the boat and how much I like sailing. The clean fresh air to breathe and the sun warming our bodies truly feels like the proper prescription to invigorate anyone. :)
