As many of you know, I am a huge fan of sailboat racing. If fact it is what I do with my summer vacation as well as most of my free time throughout the year.
I do most of my sailing in Maine, where I currently live, but sometimes I am lucky enough to travel to new places like Lake George NY, Newport RI, and Annapolis MD.
On most boats I sail on my position or job is "bow" which usually means that I run everything from the mast forward. I rig the sails and lines, make sail changes, help with tacks and gybes. It is a lot of work and is pretty rewarding. It is great to work with a group of fun people toward a goal and achieve it, that is one of the reasons it is so fun for me.
Throughout the sailing season, I will be posting updates on my latest adventures.
Molly, I love the title of your blog. As an ex-sailboat racer and US Sailboat instructor, I can identify with your site. Since most of my experience in sailing has been up and down the west coast, I am very interested to see what Northeast sailing is like. I look forward to your adventures!
