No. 4 – Go Sailing/Learn to Sail
On Saturday, I crossed #4, go sailing/learn to sail, off of my 30 Before 30 List!
In honor of our one year anniversary my husband and I signed up for a private Intro to Sailing course at a local sailing school. We met our instructor at the marina, and sailed from 2pm to 5pm. To say that we had a good time would be a huge understatement. Keith and I literally had the time of our lives on our little sailboat! From the start, our instructor had us backing our boat away from dock and we I literally steered the boat about 90% of the time. It was fantastic!

I love sailing!!
We went under the Ravenel Bride 🙂
Overall, I would absolutely rate this experience a 10! Our instructor was awesome, it was a gorgeous day, and we really loved being on the sailboat. Sailing is definitely my thing, and Keith and I are thinking about enrolling in a certification class. It feels great to scratch the first item off of my list, and I’m excited to tackle the next 29 things. 🙂
**Today is my husband’s first day at his new job! If you can, please say a little prayer for him. He is a bit nervous/anxious/excited for this new journey. Thanks guys!

What a fun experience! Too bad we live in the Midwest where sailing is basically unavailable!

I tried sailing when I was in 4H and I did not like it :(. I was not a natural. But I hope your husband had a great first day!
