Sail Away....

Well I just returned from my first sailing trip.  Four days spent touring in Northern Lake Michigan on a 41-foot boat.   We traveled about 240 miles total.  Definitely a lot of sail time for my first go around.  I'm very grateful to my friends for asking me to go.  They have been going on a sailing trip annually for about the past ten years and I felt honored they extended the offer to me, especially since my time on a sailboat totaled about 2-3 hours.

It's still pretty cool on the water up North this time of year, but we had clear days and a nice steady wind, so our days were quite full.  If you have never traveled in this area, I highly recommend it whether it's via water or land.  It is quite beautiful.  Chicago Hog posted a map of where we traveled to get a better idea of where we were.  I should have some pics of the trip to post within the week, once I have had a chance to go through them a bit.

Trips like this are often great as they provide perspective and act as a means for me to "ground" myself.  On the water you have to be present.....here and now.  For me, this is definitely a good place to be as my mind is often everywhere else but here.  So a nice reminder to be in the moment.  I also realize I need to visualize more, you know to see where I am headed and what I want to do.  Create via intention if that makes sense to anyone.

That's all for now.

All is good.  Be Well.
