so long to find out

Sailing was pretty amazing.  But I'm so tired.  My brain still has a lot of trouble with the terminology; it's like trying to learn a whole new language really fast.  It's tiring, both mentally and physically.  When it was my turn to be the skipper I was so confused, I basically just mimicked everything the instructor said without comprehending it.  Like a mynah bird.  But I have to assume that having said the words aloud, and having heard them over and over again all day long, that they will slowly start to take on meaning.  It was definitely a very special day - and there are still two more ahead.
