Just being me.

i've lost that 'loving' feeling

I've not sailed in like almost 3 years, and yesterday was one of the most unlikely days which I decided to sail. Thanks to M. :) Thanks for "dragging" me down ya? I had to start somewhere though. It was one of those sudden impulses. Which I rarely succumb to. :P Anyway, it started off quite well, with very little wind, thought I can gradually ease my way into finding my rhythm. But boy, was I wrong. Poof! Suddenly, the wind blew into above 10 knots and I was capping like mad. So at the end of yesterday, I was damn shagged. With knees that were hurt from kneeling on the boat (to keep my balance), a big bruise on my right thigh, roughened thumbs and fingers and stretched muscles, I was ready to fall into bed anytime.

My afterthoughts of this was that I'm glad I still remembered some stuff which I learnt over the years, and some feel of the boat was still there. I could maintain my boat speed upwind against some of the younger sailors and the feeling of hiking out and working the body was great. But downwind was a totally different story. Heh. I guess I just have to come back more often and get back in tune huh?
