Back in the Saddle Again

I finally got back on the water again. More importantly, I got back on the water with my best friend, and fellow sailing enthusiast, Daniel. I received an invite to go sailing from Greg Hold at Gotham Yacht on his 50' Beneteau. With a group of about 20 people, sailors and revelers alike, we set off from the 79th st. Boat Basin in Manhattan.

Feeling the boat pitch and roll with the waves, and the wind blowing through my hair, I looked up at the beautifully designed mainsail, and felt completely at peace. I also accomplished one of my goals that I had set when moving to New York City; Sailing around the Statue of Liberty.

All in all, it was an incredibly refreshing and pleasant experience. I can't wait to go again.
