The Peconic Puffin

A blog about a group of windsurfers and other water sports enthusiasts, and their friends. Established 1993.

Dance floor
Relaxing in our Bonaire bungalow after yet another day of fine sailing, Sally was excited about windsurfing.  She has a love/not love relationship with the sport, but right then she was glowing.  "It's like going dancing," she said.  "You may think you're not sure if you want to dance or not, but once you hit the floor and start dancing, you're having a great time.  The water is like the dance floor…once you're out there windsurfing you think "I love this!   It's a whole different world."

It didn't hurt that she hit a jibe earlier that day.  But yeah who doesn't know exactly what she means?  Particularly when you haven't sailed in awhile, or its cold or whatever.   Get out there!

    Sally’s got the right attitude. The water is more like the wrestling mat for me sometimes.
