Time

It's been hard for me lately to keep truckin' through work and life when all I can think about is sailing. Every morning, I wake around 7 and for the next hour, I am sailing in my head. I'm hoisting the sails, trimming them, tacking, jibing, steering, tying knots, setting the anchor, sleeping below deck, fixing, cleaning, etc. I feel like with all I've read about sailing, it's time to get out on the water and actually do it. Time, money, commitments, schedules and my lack of sailing experience make it impossible right now to just go down to the dock, cast off and go float out there in the sound under wind, or otherwise.

I'm looking forward to the day where I can head over in the evening, go out for a couple hours and call it a night. I believe I'll continue to sail in my dreams until that time.
