Sailing the Northwest

I’ve always thought that sailing is one of the best ways to escape the realities of your landlocked life and just be one with nature.  There is nothing like being under sail to relax your nerves and just focus on the here and now.

So I was not surprised when I came across this video of Senator Ted Kennedy going out for a sail on Cape Cod with his wife Vicki, just one day after having been diagnosed with a brain tumour.  Best of all, this was no relaxing daysail, as you will see from the video.  The stiff breeze and some rough water made for some great sailing, as well as some priceless commentary by the press corps at the end of the video:  “I can see it, I can see it….. Oh my God….. Oh my God…. are you kidding me? I’d be coming back in now.”
