Mind on the Sea

I don't own a boat... yet. I want this blog to be my jump into the large world of sailing. I want to learn and explore with the goal of someday refurbishing my own boat.

Hello World

19 July 2013
My interest in sailing started with viewing this documentary Hold Fast. If you haven't watched it yet, I would recommend it.
I first went sailing last year around Christmas. My girlfriend and I went down to Mobile Bay to visit my uncle and try out sailing. We spent a few hours out there in great conditions, and I loved it. I took out my camera and we made a small video with it. http://youtu.be/RjJhv3ks6QU.
After that things kinda slowed down for me. My sailing interest has mainly become reading about it and looking at videos. But, this next year I plan on joining the sailing club at my university and getting some experience. Then some day in the near future I would love to find an old boat and fix it up. That is why I joined this blog - to network with with others and see what people have done with their boats and renovations. If anyone is starting a project let me know, I would love to follow it.
This is just the beginning.
