My first sailing trip taught me two valuable lesons. First I realized that I always needed to take extra provisions. When we set out, the sky was blue and cloudless, the breeze was warm. We ate our picnic lunch within the first hour. Then we sailed for two more hours. All the way up shinglehouse slough. When we headed home, we realized that the tide had alredy turned and that we had to hurry, however, the wind had died. We decided to row. We rowed until we were near charleston bridge. Where the boat snagged on a mud flat. John and I piled out and started to push the boat through the shallow water. Hurrying to get to the deeper channel before the tide was completely out. The sun was now gone, fog and wind were swirling around the boat. We wanted more food and warmer clothing, both were at home, not in the boat. Then I learned my second lesson nature is powerful. As we reached deeper water, we realized that the waves were growing steadily higher. Although the fog was beginning to lift. Soon we were surfing on top of the waves in our little skiff. Propelled by the wind and the current. I began comparing how far I could swim with how far away the shore was. I sat huddled in the bottom of the boat. In an inch of water from the waves’ spray. Finally, we nosed the boat into the narrow inlet. We scrambled out. Mother nature was a tough teacher.
