For those of you who don't know, home base for me is Cleveland, Ohio. Being from Cleveland, I know a lot of people who spend a few weekends a year about two hours from Cleveland near Lake Chautauqua in Chautauqua County, New York. This weekend, I spent the day sailing up at Lake Chautauqua.
Here I am on an O'Day 22. This means that the boat we sailed was an O'Day model boat that is 22 feet long. It was pretty nice!
I even got to steer! For those of you who have never sailed, most smaller sail boats don't have a wheel. You steer using this long handle, called a tiller! That's just one of the many new sailing terms I learned this weekend. I'm feeling very nautical indeed.
Any fans of sailing out there? If so, let me know where I should try sailing next!
