Sailing, Yay!

There are three different tracks in the Ships DTS, and we were given the option to choose between them the 2nd week here. There's a basic medical track, a Bible track, and a nautical track. I chose the nautical track because sailing is a big reason I chose to do the Ships DTS.
Every Friday we have a lecture on our topic for an hour and a half, and the students in the nautical track have the opportunity to go sailing occasionally. We've been sailing twice so far, with the latest being yesterday. We sail on the Makana, a sailboat that was gifted to YWAM Ships for training purposes. I love sailing, and it's incredible to be able to learn some new aspects, and relearn others. Sailing is complicated, fast-paced, and potentially dangerous. We haven't run into any danger yet (I doubt we will), but the ocean is unbelievably blue, the sky's gorgeous, and just being on the water is amazing. Plus, it's nice to be able to sit by the bow and chat with friends.
