That reminds me of a sailing trip in the Virgin Islands around 30 years ago, with 12 newbies crammed onto a pair of 37-ish footers, along with 2 experienced sailors on each rental boat. The end-of-day conversations were really intense at times - people learned a lot about themselves and how they see the world from sailing (we ran into some weather a few times, and 3-4 foot waves grew to be 12 foot swells in people's minds).
In honor of that trip, I created a newsletter that people contributed to for about a year called
Over the Lee Rail and Other Musings on Life.
