As I’d been looking for places to go sailing, one place was SO nice to me and was bummed they couldn’t accommodate me on my birthday. And they offered me a free sail!
Now, at this point, I’d already gone sailing haha. But I appreciated the offer, and I’m not gonna turn down a free sail. So, I went out to City Island in the Bronx (my first time there), and went sailing again.
I knew my way around a boat a little better this time. We practiced navigating around these little mini-islands.
Steve was so nice. He even brought a piece of birthday cake!
And basically, for some reason, before I ever went sailing, I thought it was a thing – like a thing you really had to pay attention to, like it would be exercise or something.
And I’m sure in competitive sailing, it probably is. But here [on both this sail and the other one]? We were just chillin’. Sailing can be really chill. You just sit back and let the wind take you!
