Sailing - Nicknclank - 08-10-2012 03:25 PM
For the past couple of years, I have been taking sailing classes when I go to California for the month.
I always like sailing on sail-boats. Just standing on a boat, on the sea, without a small hint of stress... it's really relaxing.
Well, actually, no, there's still the stress of tipping over and having your boat turtled (upside down). But you know, frek' it. I just take my I-Pod and forget about it ^_^
Anyway, sailing a boat isn't that hard! You only need to do three things when turning the boat, and when you're steering it (controlling it), you just need to hold a stick (tiller) and make sure it doesn't go on the beach or some rocks!
I remembered when my instructor asked me how can I be good at steering and all when I only come for 2 weeks (a sailing session is 2 weeks, or more precisely, 8 days) each year. I didn't have the hearts to tell him that I was just naturally good at videogames and that it helped doing stuff like that. Last time I said that to my driving teacher, she got scared that I would hit a pedestrian for fun.
Anyway, have you guys ever sailed too?

Until you fall into the water with your IPod ?
I did some sailing in my past, though it was on a cold lake so capsizing was unforgiving. I also did some more when I lived in the Indian Ocean, then capsizing was awesome. Then I got my speedboat permit and went a bajillion times faster. Even though, there's something more tranquil about sailing without the noise of a motor

When you're as cool as I am
, your iPod floats in your hand without falling.But SERIOUSLY THOUGH, I put it in my pockets, which I can close, so that my iPod can't fall down. Since I have my earphones, I can hear quite clearly.
