Sailing is in my genes, good sailor or bad one, the idea of taking a boat with some friends and family brings the adrenaline rush and the meditation austerity at the same time to my mind, heart and soul. It is really who I am, but when you add the waves and salty water of the Mediterranean, by the Atcl yacht club then it's pure ecstasy and Karma and hari Krishna!
I grew up in the club where my sister and Learned sailing With dad on our flying Dutchman.
He know sails on a 470.
We got an invitation to sail on a 42 footer racing sail boat, an X-yacht. Fadi Asmar and his wife where the hosts. I still remember his driving from when we were teens, it's still the same and so is his sailing. Man that boat trip was a memorable one. The Wind speed was only 20km/h but I couldn't imagine the boat's behavior at a higher wind force. We were going fast, jumping in the wave and at a 45 degree inclination angle au large! Going down in the the cabins was interesting.
We later rushed back to a sushi restaurant through traffic where we met Michelle, Marc, Yoan and mom.
In the evening after taking few digestive pills, we met Chady at his pub then Bardo again... Then past midnight we headed home.
