Sails and Sunsets without Blue Dolphin

So it looks like I will need to get my sails and sunsets fix without the beautiful Blue Dolphin Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 319. She was a companion that opened up so many doors and opportunities. She helped me learn about myself as I became a better sailor and a better person, more patient and able to weather the storms and find joy in the moments of calm. I thought we would do more cruising, but I ended up racing her the most. Wednesday nights were a consistent weekly activity that brought me a lot of joy and always an opportunity to improve. The women’s regatta was a weekend racing highlight. The most memorable trip remains the 8 day adventure from Denmark to the Netherlands, with all the extremes mixed in. Thank you Blue Dolphin, I hope you are enjoying your new home and owner in Boston.

This summer, I got to return to the Outer Banks for some amazing sunsets and some windsurfing sailing. I’m looking forward to sunsets and adventures of all kinds: skiing, hiking, hanging in my neighborhood, pickleballing, and maybe heading out for a sail on someone else’s boat.
