captain solo

i had never single-handedly sailed before today. oh sure, on small boats. but never a 26′ coronado like the boate. i had a little apprehension and fear going into it. but fear is lame.
the next thing i know, i am in between alcatraz and angel island near sunset, graciously accepting a short, self-congratulatory statement made by…me.
it was actually really cool. the sailing of course. i made up that part about the statement.
