It is a beautiful thing. If you exceed the bounds of freedom allowed by the cosmic bounds of nature while sailing, you die. If you read them correctly, and use the forces correctly, you not only live, you thrive and enjoy the experience, the speed, the freedom of movement that nature provides.

Not to mention that it doesn't take much skill to open a throttle and harness your oil slaves!

It's 5:45 AM Sunday morning and still dark outside and I'm heading out for the next best thing... Kayak diving!

That looks great, some great pictures on the website! I have a friend who was trying to teach me Kayak on the Cumberland River in KY, she was a guide, but I essentially cannot swim, so the eskimo rolls don't work too well for me...for now, I am staying out of the whitewater until I can master the slow and peaceful stuff! :-)

what is keeping you from learning to swim ?

i learned to swim at age 38, i thought it would be a good skill to have for a scubba diver. i did some watersking before that.
