Sailing!

On Saturday Natan and I went sailing with one of his former professors, who is also a captain. I was extremely nervous beforehand because I get really awful seasickness, but I didn't want to miss the opportunity, because even through I've lived in South Florida my whole life I had never been on a sailboat. I'm happy to say that I did NOT get sick. It was a big moment in my life as it was the longest I've ever been on a boat without getting violently sick.
We left around 11:00 in the morning and we went out to the Atlantic by way of the New River. It was pretty neat because the New River goes right by downtown Fort Lauderdale and we went under all the bridges that I normally drive over on my way to work so that was exciting to be on the other side and to be the one the was making the bridges go up.
I didn't get too many pictures because it's surprisingly hard to take pictures on a boat because of all the movement.

The sails going up!


Throughout the whole trip I just kept thinking of the movie Captain Ron. I love that movie so much!






My sailing outfit.


My Sperry Topsiders! It was the first time that my boating shoes were actually on a boat but both the captain and his friend noticed and were impressed that I wore boating shoes.

I'm glad you enjoyed your sailing trip, the view of Ft Lauderdale was one of my favorites when we would go out. I always felt, if we were on the boat, life was wonderfully and romantically perfect. I miss it desperately.
