Work, traffic, stress; life's daily grind can really get to me. Oftentimes I simply want to get away from all this. Personally, I prefer to get away in the middle of the sea. There's nothing beats sailing towards the open ocean having the balmy wind, sunshine, the clear skies, as well as the infinite azure over and above.
When sailing comes to mind, most people think that you have to be a captain or an experienced sailor to do it but it's not entirely true. Based on my experience, I can add that it is not as hard as it may seem. I signed up myself in a sailing institution just to understand the basics and the security precautions while on the ocean and that was it.
Whenever I go into a sailing trip, I start with a plan and write it all down on paper; where I want to go, when's the best time go, how long I will be out at sea, and where to get a boat. As a beginner, I go for day sailing and the weather report for that day must be clear and sunny for I would not want get caught in a middle of bad climate. I search the internet ahead or call a sailing club to ask for safe and close locations. Pertaining to the sail boat, I am not super rich thus setting up a private yacht is definitely out of my list. Our local harbour have vessels for rental that is relatively affordable. So I got the boat in order.
The next task is the essentials in the trip: food and drinks, cash, charts and float plan (available in the school or licensed sailor), radio, first aid box, and sailing equipment. To get my full gear, I put on sailing shoes or sailing boots.
Though the sea may be calm in good weather, a strong breeze may rock the boat a couple of times so sailing shoes or sailing boots should help me hold my ground. When everything is in check, I should be good to get out to the great ocean and savor the fun of sailing.
