Day 58-106 (Baja Sailing)

As you may have noticed, I have not been posting anything for quite some time.  The reason?  I was sailing in Baja on the Sea of Cortez!  I had the opportunity to go on a NOLS sailing trip.  NOLS stands for National Outdoor Leadership School.  For 24 days I learned how to sail a drascombe, how to live in the back country, and leadership skills.  I also met some amazing people and saw some incredible wild life.  For example, how often does one get the chance to sail with a pod of killer whales?   Let me tell you, it was stupendous.  Here are some photos of my trip.

This is the Drascombe.  Each day we had a crew of 3 students and 1 instructor per boat.

Here is proof that, yes, I did row.
