RE: Sailing On 1889 Zwarte Valk (part 1)

in #photography5 years ago

The one time I've been on a sail boat (admittedly not the size of the one you went on) was a pretty harrowing experience!

The conditions were pretty windy but our sailing instructor gave us all the green light to have a go at steering the boat... Well, just call me the side sailor haha

Managed to pick up a side wind and it was like a car driving on two wheels and there wasn't anything I could seemingly do about it to make it go flat down on the sea!

What felt like 2 hours was probably less than a minute before the instructor politely said "I'll take it from here" 😂

Well, I'll leave the steering to the professionals but it wasn't the first time I'd have slightly rocky boat trips!

Glad your experience was a bit more routine 😁
