This Week in Sailing - October 19, 2007
******************
Tomorrow is the last day of the sailing for the 2007 season.
Don't be sad. There is more to come.
Sometimes you need to travel through the looking glass. It's a great world. There are many ways to focus on many things. Winter is coming. And so will the Caribbean Regatta. And before you know it, the daises will bloom again in spring.
Thanks to Brian Buckley for this picture of a Manhattan Sailing Club boat sailing in front of the skyline of Manhattan.
******************
You can get two more days of sailing on some super high performance boats. Manhattan Sailing School has announced a second weekend of Basic Coastal Cruising onboard Dennis Conner's Formula 1s. The first weekend sold out in a few hours. Details are at www.sailmanhattan.com/coastal_cruising_F1.htm. These are amazing 53 foot yachts. Take a look at the pictures and dream about the ultimate sailing experience. This is the best way you could end your sailing season!
