Slowly Going Nowhere

You aren't looking at a photo in this post so I suppose it doesn't really qualify for my blog. But since I post photos of Lake Oahe from time to time, I thought I'd show you what a typical sailing trip looks like. The lines that you see are my tracks as recorded on my Garmin GPS. On this particular trip I spent three days going here and there and covered over 100 miles.It may appear that I move around alot and I do. It may also appear that I really don't know where I'm going. And often I don't. And that's why I like being on my boat on Lake Oahe so much. In my other life as a high school teacher, I am governed my halls, rows, clocks and bells. On my sailboat I am governed by wind and whim.
