I went sailing for the first time last night.




Oh yeah, and I came home with a concussion.  Not the first time.  Safe to say, not the last.

Beau says he hopes it doesn't turn me away from sailing for good (there's a great little pun in there, if only you knew).  I informed him he doesn't need to worry - I've received a concussion from most of my favorite activities.  Queue the Kelly motto... "We take a lick'n and keep on tick'n." 

I know all my family members are already working on the jokes they are going to make in regards to my first sailing trip.  But, I'll have you know, when I ashamedly admitted the tale to my sailboat owning (and competition racing) coworker, he informed me the injury was sincerely not my fault.

Could you sail me to the moon?

I'm pretty sure I saw a pirate sail the might skies once...

What an unbelievable dream?! 
This year I will ride on a sailboat. 
But someday, I will lounge in the sunshine with my love and play chess and sip cold beverages on a sailboat for hours. 

I wouldn't mind if that sailboat was ours.  :)  Or if that someday were soon.

THIS year. 

DREAM!
Isn't this amazing?!
(Next time I go to San Fran, I really want to go sailing.)

Let's go sailing, you and I.
I know the clouds are rolling in
And the storm is raging wild.
But let's go sailing, you and I,
'Cus if you're in the boat I'm in,
The ocean's fury's but a playful child.
