Sailing

I love sailing. I hope to live on a sailboat one day. Below are some clips of Becca and I sailing our 1982 Hobie 16.

Sailing

My parents were awesome, so they moved aboard a sailboat when I was seven years old and we lived aboard off-and-on for the next five years. I've loved sailing and the ocean ever since.

While in Michigan for my PhD, I knew I needed to do something to survive the five years without salt water, so I bought a 1982 Hobie 16 with my partner, Becca. We named it Dandelion (multiple levels there, it's yellow like a dandelion, and "-lion" makes it a catamaran pun) and we've been sailing on Ford Lake in Ypsilanti every chance we get.
