Taking the Helm

http://Taking the Helm

So I’m a bit ashamed to say that despite the fact that I bought my Bandit IF a few months ago — and was so excited that I rushed to buy it even though I was somewhat torn between it and another boat, only to have a veritable hybrid between the two be launched less than two weeks later — I still haven’t learned to sail. It’s a commitment I’m putting down on paper right here, right now… I will at least learn the basics this summer, though I doubt I’ll achieve the mastery I need in order to start racing her (which WAS the plan). But Step 1 is done… I’ve got the boat.  And so is Step 2… I’ve found where to take some self-directed lessons (private lessons available if I want them). I’ve taken her out a few times, and LOVE LOVE LOVE the feel when she’s running with the wind… I’m just not very good (translation: I’m absolutely dreadful) at getting where I want to go, like home when I’m done lol.  But the only way to learn is by doing, so here I am, sitting in the captain’s seat, tiller in my hand… time to hoist the sails and start cruising! Just one thing… If I’m not back in a reasonable amount of time, please send the SL Coast Guard to bring us home!!! 😉

  • Top:  Graffitiwear – Fickle Fatpack – Top & Hoodie Set.  Two options available — one with a HUD of 8 graphics, one with 8 “attitudes” for the top (definitely more my style lol, the one I’m wearing is absolutely PERFECT not just for me, but probably for any fashion blogger… the fact that it’s “my” color, makes it that much better!), awesome matching solids for the hoodie…  And the fabrics!  The airy lightness of the top next to the luxurious softness of the hoodie… Sized for Tonic, Belleza F/I/V, Slink H/P, & Maitreya.  At the Designer Circle 14/19 July 7th – 27th.  Demo available.
  • Shorts:  MOZ Designs – NEW! “Riley” Belted Hi-Waisted Shorts.  When a top is really really short like this one, I prefer a higher waist bottom to balance it out.  Riley is a high waisted, belted denim short in six denim fabrics.
