5 things you didn’t know about sailing
The endless sea, clear blue sky and a nice boat, all of its sounds so wonderful that for some, may even raise the Q: Why is it such a big deal? Well… It is a big deal, and these 5 things about sailing that you didn’t know, is just a preview of what’s all about!
Amazing landscapes
Some of the most amazing pictures we’ve ever took, are from sailing trips. To be honest, you don’t have to be a professional photographer, you just need to photograph with your feelings. The landscape is unbelievably generous. The lights, colors and shapes are sometimes astonishing. You could not ask for more. It is like you landed in wonderland!
Zen
In case you need some relaxing time, boat can be the best choice. Our relaxing moments on a boat look like this: sitting on the bow where you have a wide vision angle, with headphones, listening to some nice music; sometimes reading, other times just admiring landscapes or the endless water. There are moments when you just close your eyes and the whole thing is complete when the waves hit the boat and some drops splashes your face and the wind plays with your hair like it is the best toy in the world. Isn’t it just wonderful?
Let the fun begin
Lots of fun and laughter are for sure not missed when sailing. You should see us, so stubborn to learn the tricks of wind surfing! Ana & me, we were for sure born for that! Talking about this, I also need to admit that sometimes our adventurous minds drive us to crazy things, like being trapped into the Andaman waters while running from some “mad” swimming monkeys, or getting some scars after “fighting” with some rocks in the Adriatic. And the best idea of fun while sailing is when you just jump into the water from the highest point of the boat, or swim with the coloured fish and sometimes beautiful turtles, do some water sports or try to drive the dinghy and stay out of fuel. All the funny stories come out of these happenings. And we’ll tell more about soon 🙂
Eat
The sensations coming out when your taste buds are satisfied can only make you happy, #foodgasm they say! The Mediterranean kitchen, you can have it at its heights when you sail from one island to the other. There can be a big surprise when you sometimes drop the anchor near this small terrace where there will be just a few tables and the dishes they prepared for you just leave you without words. You will some times assist to a culinary demonstration.
Love is in the air
Romance is not lost when you sail with some other couples and friends. The fact that you have to share all this limited space for a week it doesn’t mean that you can’t have your moments with your other half. Landscape and natural phenomena like: sunrise, sunsets or starry nights play their important parts here. You’ll just treasure the moments when laying down on the highest point of the boat and stare at the stars.
