The simple but life imperative tasks of sailing remind me of myself at just 16 years old. My vessel was an old pulling boat with eight oars, eight people and no cover or head (toilet). Think Viking ship. Our mission was to sail or row from Rockland Maine up the coast for 28 days. With no knowledge of sailing, charting or of each other, the first week was a learning curve. I remember that after the first week we fell into a routine of tasks. The stars have never been so bright again.
