Wind Me Up.

Wind or wind? Right, so you can't really tell if you read it. But one is wind, like winding up. Another is wind, as in the wind blows.

So this weekend I have my first set of sailing lessons. It was pretty great. A lot of work, more than you would normally expect. At least for me. I think it's like driving, a lot of things you need to keep track of. But once you get the hang of it I can just taste it, the thrill of being out on the water pushing your boat to the limits.

The best feeling is when you feel the wind pulling your boat on the edge of capsizing. You have to lean your body over the edge, over the water, just to get balance. All this while going full speed. It's great.

I also saw a lot of people windsurfing and in wetsuits. It made we want to get a wetsuit and learn windsurfing also. Can't you picture me in a wetsuit? Haha, suckers. I just make you do it. But seriously I think it would be fun.

The power of the wind is my new fascination.
