Sum, Sum, Summer Time!

I know, I know it is barley Spring but when I look out my window and see the bright sun, summer time just pops into my head!  There are so many wonderful activities that I enjoy during the Spring and Summer months in New England.  Biking on the rail trails, hiking the awesome mountains, soaking up the rays by the ocean’s side, driving on a surprise adventure with my love, feeling the breeze against my cheeks on a sailboat and the list goes on!  I like to re-create, re-live and re-invent adventures of the past as well.  Exempli gratia; reflecting on my fondness for lying in the grass on a warm summers day as a young person turns into lying in the grass on a warm summers day reading to my love with our puppy Tawnie Brie bopping about with her pink bounciness.  The joys of drinking in the summer sun are intensified by the groovy memories of my childhood and it’s all so good!  Do you have a favorite summer pastime you will enjoy this year?     

Some of my summer pastimes … Enjoy L!

Ocean Sailing

Some of my favorite childhood memories are times spent on my uncle’s catamaran sailing the lake.  I was fascinated by the skills it took to understand the wind and catching it to propel our sailboat forward.  When I discovered ocean sailing I was even more mesmerized with the dynamics of this vast new world of sailing the ocean.  The smells, salty water, warm winds, invigorating speeds and the complex navigation skills it took to plot a course in this infinite body of water.  Every one of my senses filled to the brim with excitement!  Today I just get filled with love when I anticipate a visit to the ocean or have the knowledge that a day of sailing is right around the corner.  My Vineyard Vines wind jacket is ready, my Sperry Topsiders are standing by and, most of all, my heart is ready to embrace one of my passions, ocean sailing! Here are some sites I found about charters.  There are so many good ones but these are a great start … Enjoy!
