    Super expensive ($450) sailing lessons on Utah lake are available…if I save my pennies maybe I can do it next summer? But who will learn with me????



    Learning to Sail - Part of my 5 year plan on learning to live. 6 days ago

    I think this summer might be perfect for this – I should be finished with my school prerequisites for nursing and it will be right before I’m chained to a hospital and classroom for my education. Learning to sail will also give me a greater foundation to draw on when deciding which boat to purchase with Jesse later on. The end goal is to be able to sail around anywhere, possibly across the world. There is so much to see, do and explore – I know I don’t want to be stuck in one place. This actually feels like something worth living for – to be able to go, do, see and experience at will. Correction – that feels like it would be living. What I’m doing now – doing work for somebody else, experiencing the monotony of paycheck after paycheck (although relishing the fact that I actually have one!) – is not living the way I see it. It is subsiding.



    Wonderful! 2 weeks ago

    I’ve been in my sailing class for several weeks and it’s fantastic! Stuff like capsizing, hitting my head on the boom, or getting caught in the lines no longer scare me. I’m not a pro, but I’ve finally taken the first step in getting there.

    1 lesson - wondering if I should remove this from my list 4 weeks ago

    I took an introductory course with Chicago Sailing and went home feeling excited for the next one.

    However, I learned that sailing is not an inexpensive hobby and decided not to go forward with lessons this year.

    I feel I’ve experienced sailing now, but I don’t know if one lesson warrants me checking this off of my list…

    hm….

    A very nauticual person at heart 1 month ago

    When I was little, I was fascinated with a lot of things, the ocean and sailing it being one of them. I’m 18 now and I sadly living in some jerkwater town 4-5 hours from the sea so I never got the opportunity to ever learn. When I get my degree, 3 years from now =(, I will move somewhere closer by but for now I’m gonna spend time reading up on it and learning so I could be ready! yaaaaaaay lol

    Good luck to everyone!!

    I still really want to do this... 1 month ago

    ...it’s just a question of finances.

    Every night I walk my dog past the harbour admiring the boats and daydreaming about achieving this goal. It stays on the list until I manage to find the money to do it!
