Sail
Sailed with Jeff Neurater today on his Buccaneer, American Spirit. It was great sailing with a more experienced sailor. I fumbled with the spinnaker, but got progressively better through the afternoon.
The Buccaneer easily outpaced our club's Flying Scots. What a fun, responsive boat! My fingers are satisfiyingly chaffed. I haven't sailed a boat like this in decades, and it's a welcome change from the big, fat cruisers that I'm usually on.
I rarely sail the boat these days since I spend most of my time mentoring other sailors. But every once in a while I actually get to sail, and I love every moment.
