Mary,

You are describing me to a tee. I started sailing at 15, small monos and crewed for my dad on H16 and TheMightyHobie18. I went off to college, then grad school and didn't step foot on a boat. After travelling for a while, I finally settled down a couple of years ago. At the time, I was involved in windsurfing. I eventually got bored of that and bought a TheMightyHobie18 last year. I am really excited to be back in the sport now at 32.

I wholeheartedly agree with what you are saying. It was very hard for me to find the time to sail during college and even harder while traveling. Now that I'm settled, I'm back in the sport. Having said that, I never would have gotten 'back' in the sport had I not started in the sport. It is nice to see so many people getting in the youth movement to introduce youngsters to sailing.

Happy sailing!
