It has been a bit since a post but to put things plainly, there isn't shit to report. I didn't sail last Thursday because Cool Change was overloaded with available crew and it seems there may be some sort of a rotation system working itself out. Let's see how that pans out. I didn't sail this past weekend because or actually the last two weekends because the weather was crap or no available boat to crew on. I'm not sailing tonight because Cool Change is not racing in the Thursday Night race this week and let's see what the weekend holds.
I've basically been stuck with some work frustrations, cash flow frustrations and basically just working out to relieve stress. The workouts only fill the void for a few but lately the next day brings is own share of frustrations. I really need to get some sailing in soon. I've even gone as far as dreaming about trimming sails, time at the helm and flying through the breeze on an overcast day. It must be a sign of the need to sail when you dreaming the stuff.
I've also killed some time reading a book called "Close to the Wind" by Pete Goss. It is a great book on his story of sailing and the round the world races he has been involved in. I'm about halfway through the book, which is saying alot for me, but so far my opinion is that it is a motivational story caught between sailing and attitude. This will definitely be a re-read book to note down some personality traits to learn from. A hidden secret about myself is that I really don't read much. I can't even get through a magazine article if it doesn't grab my attention. So for me to finish a book, that is saying something about the content. I'm not done yet but so far I have a hard time putting it down.
Hopefully the next post will have some sailing in it and who knows, maybe a picture of it all.
