Just imagine the joy of travelling without any motorised power. Well I had the experience of a 7 day trip round the coast of Denmark on a 44 foot yacht. As a first timer to this sport, I was looking forward to this for some time. It was really good fun, with my fellow crewmates being very sociable and knowledgeable. I now can navigate and steer, some of the complexities of the sails still escape me, but I will learn these further.
There is something magical about flying across the sea using nothing but the power of the wind. Sadly, the wind was not always blowing in the right direction, so I cant put my hand on my heart and say that we never used the engine, we did. I would recommend the sailing experience to all.
