sailing

It is, no it was a beautiful day yesterday. Set the alarm clock at 7:30am, and got up around 8am. Uh, it was Saturday, wanted to sleep more, but :) had to meet up with friends for sailing. The mask had to cross a little hydraulic bridge which need to be operated by person. We called to ask the favor for opening the bridge around 9:30am which had to cause temporary trafic jam.

Sailing out to the ocean from the river took us more than an hour, it was low tide, faster than last week when we sailed out because of the current. It rained a lot these days, lucky that it was a sunny day-sailing. (it rained again the same evening:)) It is Vancouver! Lots of rain in winter, but it does not bother me too much. I just appreciate everyhing I have here.

Rigging the boat with jib-nova (hope it is the right word), which is bigger than nomal jib and can catch more wind. saw a few cute seals, oh, Forgot the dog! One friend took his dog, cute dog. The dog and the seal looked at each other, one on the boat, the other in the ocean. I am wondering if they were families thousands of years ago, because they look alike, the cute face, the nose! I am a dog lover, thinking to have one. My friend once said, why dog, so expensive, how about having a kid! What! Kid? I even have to think twice about the commitment before having a dog:) Anyway, I love kids too, just not a right time and have to find my kid's dad first.

Saw some small racing boats, listened to the sound of the water splashing when the boat is flying. Saw the lines behind the boad and knew the speed. it is really nice!
