Sailing Lesson on the Charles River

I had not been in a sailboat for nearly twenty years and I wondered if I might tip it over. The boat was very small. My buddy has years of experience volunteer teaching sailing, and he did a good job of building up my confidence. For only a minute or two I held the tiller, but that was fine for today. It was a lot more fun than I expected it to be. Some of the basic terminology began to come back to me.
