Hi @smallsasha What an awesome story! Thank you for sharing your journey to being a sailor and sharing all these great tips and books! I also fell in love with sailing while holding on to a stanchion for my life, while the rest of me was hanging overboard :) that was 10 years ago... then a long period of not sailing up until 2016. Since then one of my proudest moments was that i was able to sail solo on a 30ft boat (tacking and maintaining course) while the boat captain/owner was soundly asleep in the cabin, during late evening to night-time and in 3 meter waves. That was an incredible rush!

Its really awesome that you are able to live and share such an amazing experience! Sailing really changes your perception on what security means, every moment is key.

Also you shared a video of Yuval Noah Harari who is one of my favorite thinkers of our time. big kudos :)

Resteemed and followed.
