On Sunday afternoon, Sam, Ange, and I threw on our boat shoes and headed to Belmont Harbor. Our sailing adventure was about to get underway and it looked like it was going to be a beautiful evening for a sunset sail. Our "captain" was great (and a Teach For America Alumni - small world) and we had a large boat all to ourselves.
We motored out to the lake and all chipped in as we prepared to set sail. Sam hoisted the main sheet, Ange took care of the jib sheet, and I took the tiller. Two minutes later, we look over to see a dark storm cloud moving in - fast. We immediately turned around and headed back to the dock after our captain got a call that heavy rain was going to be pounding our boat in a matter of minutes. Our sailing adventure came to an end before it even started. We made it back to Sam's car just seconds before a torrential downpour.
Although we are "crossing" sailing off our bucket list, we are determined to give it another shot next season.
