Abstract
It started with hearing the water slap the sides of the boat. Or maybe it was just being on the water and the motion of the gentle waves and the sun on my face. Something was addictive to me about sailing. I hung out with friends of friends that had a boat. I learned how to sail myself and then how to crew. I volunteered for the Oceanic Society of the San Francisco Bay so that I could spend more time on the water. I taught sailing and worked for free. I had this dream or vision of being on the seven-day race to the Hawaiian Islands.
