I’ve never sailed anything myself, but I used to volunteer (or tag along as my father volunteered) on some historic tall ships. Always wanted to learn to properly sail. Ought to get a sunfish or something and try the Chesapeake bay.
You should! Sailing is one of those things that’s really easy to pick up and gets trickier and trickier the more you learn. I’ve never sailed a sunfish but I hear it’s a grown up Opti, a great boat to start in! But there’s also a huge fleet of racers. The nice thing about dinghy sailing is you can get started really cheap. Usually the trailer is worth more than the boat!

That sounds ideal. I’ll see what I can come up with this year. I listen to too much nautical music and sea shanties not to be a sailor myself!
