A few years ago, Mary and Clif purchased a sailing boat. Mary had sailed when she lived in California and as they lived by the sea in Nova Scotia, Mary wanted her own boat. Fortunately, their neighbor John was an expert sailer, so he advised her in her purchase, which she bought second hand using the Internet. Of course, this boat belongs to Clif and Mary together but it is really Mary's boat. They took sailing lessons in Annapolis. Each season, Vinal helps to launch the boat. Yesterday, the boat was pulled from the water and now is in the garage, waiting for June 2013.
The boat is kept all summer in our little Marina in Brooklyn. Most days when the weather is fine, Mary and Clif go sailing. By now they are able to take the boat out and bring it back without using the motor. In other words, they have become experts. In addition, they have met a whole new group of friends, all who keep their boats at the Marina. Gill sails with them too, also their friend Frances. But now me. I prefer to stay on dry land. I especially don't enjoy sitting in a small unstable boat where at any time I could get wet. But Mary loves her boat and enjoys sailing in our waters. Now they wait for next summer.
