Sailing The Sound - Excursion 1 of 2009

Yesterday I was out sailing with two very experienced sailors on the good ship Asterix. If you are not familiar with Asterix, then take a few minutes to research him. He embodies the spirit of everyone who chooses to stand and fight for what is right.

Asterix and his village defied the Roman Empire and resisted all attempts to become part of the mighty Roman Empire. Similarly, the good ship Asterix stands symbolizes the spirit of those of us who steadfastly stand and fight to make a difference in little ways in our worlds every day.

While we were out on the perfect sailing day, we crossed paths (or would that be wakes?) with the good ship Amistad. See the short video clip of the Amistad with sails up.

We also crossed paths with a large tanker that changed course after we changed course to avoid it, requiring us to tack again. Believe me, it is a lot larger and travelling much faster than appears from this photo. No matter who has the right of way -sailboat or tanker - logic dictates that you keep your eyes open and move out of the way of large tankers as soon as you can.
