The sun was unusually bright, but a cool and gentle breeze wafted across the water creating an ideal temperature. It was a perfect day. As I watched the sailboats it reminded me of joyful butterflies flitting about in a graceful dance. Years ago I had the romantic notion that sailing would be great fun. My only experience had been aboard a small Hobie Cat off Waikiki beach. My then-husband, John, manned the little sails. My job was to lean to one side or the other, and not fall overboard. The only equipment we needed was a life jacket (which the rental company supplied.) This nautical adventure was great fun. Years later I divorced John and eventually remarried.

Sailing was not a one-time event for CB. We spent numerous weekends taking the 60 mile (one way) trek to the boat, untying the covers, loading up...more
