Sailing has become a lifetime passion for Kate and Warren. They recently purchased a sailboat of their own and hope to enjoy the wind in their sails for a long time to come. They plan to cruise the Delta this summer, and later, go on to explore the Channel Islands and California Riviera. Sailing the Bahamas and a return to the Caribbean are also high on their destination wishlist.
I took the ASA 101/103 Basic Keelboat/Basic Coastal Cruising Combination Course with our COO, Captain Bill Moreland as my instructor. That course was the beginning of many character-building and life-changing sailing experiences to come. At first, I was terrified to make a mistake and timid about giving directions to the crew from the helm. With Bill’s coaching and encouragement, I began to slowly gain confidence. A few weeks after earning my ASA 103 certification, I skippered my first sail with supportive coworkers as my crew. In the year and a half that followed, I logged over 100 days on the water by sailing after work and on weekends with my friends and mentors at Modern Sailing.
