Sailing

I love the water.

  On my Dream List is: One day help build a wooden sailboat.

"I keep sailing on in this middle passage. I am sailing into the wind and the dark.

But I am doing my best to keep my boat steady and my sails full."

Arthur Ashe 

"If you live a life of make-believe, your life isn't worth anything until you do something that does challenge your reality. And to me, sailing the open ocean is a real challenge, because it's life or death."
Morgan Freeman

"My goal in sailing isn't to be brilliant or flashy in individual races, just to be consistent 

over the long run."

Dennis Conner

Dreaming of the Ballet...continued

At 2:00 p.m. the red velvet curtain rose 

and the ballet The Sleeping Beauty began.

From the music by Tchaikovsky, to the 

dancers, and costumes...it was beautiful. 

When I was leaving, I heard a little 

girl saying "I loved it"; me too.

Fishy

I was at the park the other day and saw two little boys fishing; I asked them if they had caught anything and they said "Not yet". I knew though they would stay as long as they were allowed to and continue to bait their worms, cast their lines, and wait in anticipation until they felt that certain tug telling them they had spent the perfect afternoon by that little pond while the sun shone down. 

Seeing them reminded me of one of the things that is on my dream list;

One day go Salmon fishing in Alaska 

Things I learned about fishing in Alaska:

~Alaska salmon fishing starts about mid May and runs to about the middle of October. 

~With over 3000 rivers and streams, Alaska salmon fishing offers the most diverse and 

extensive salmon fishing in the United States

~Atlantic salmon are said to be the game fish of kings. The scientific name for them is Salmo salar which means "leaping salmon". Atlantic salmon, after spawning in fresh water, don’t die like the Pacific salmon. They return to the ocean for 1 -2 years and are able to find their way 

back to the exact location to spawn again.
