As winter gradually gives way to spring, I find myself gazing out my window at the wind dancing on the Hudson River’s surface, my thoughts drifting to the joys of sailing. A significant portion of my childhood was spent on small sailboats, and it remains one of my most cherished passions and memories. There's something captivating about every aspect of sailing – the way all the elements are in constant motion, working with and against each other in perfect harmony. The wind propels the sail, which in turn drives the boat forward, while the keel pushes in opposition to the water. The wind blows in one direction, pushing the boat forward, and the water flows in its own direction, altering the boat's direction relative to the earth. When you're sailing, you become acutely aware of everything around you – the wind on the water, the wind in the sky, the motion of the surface, and the flow in the depths.
