When I first went to Medley everyone was very friendly and helpful. I had a sail on the open day and joined. I had sailed before so could get going.
Sailing is a release from everything else – the nuances of wind and water flow are a delightful challenge to interpret into steering and trimming for effective passage. When a gust hits it's like a peak of flavour in a meal -- for some it can be too much, but the worst outcome is only getting wet -- good job most of us are waterproof.
