I recently bought a power boat...yes I know...way too much money in regards to gas and general up keep. But, it is amazing. I love that I have a boat, but what I love more is the fact that I am learning. On Saturday, I spent the entire day on the boat with my brother-in-law wiring. We had to re-route a lot of the electricity and battery power. It isn't done yet, but we got her going. The amount of electronics on the boat is fantastic. I have a GPS, radar, sonar....all sorts of power running through the entire boat. I am learning about AC DC versus 110 power and I also have a generator. I am learning charts, codes, signals, engines and everything I can to be a smart boater. And, while I bought the power boat, I am also taking sailing lessons. The water is so fantastic.
Beyond what I am learning from an electronics perspective, I just love the water. My friend Jeffe helped me move the boat yesterday from Point Richmond to Pier 39 in San Francisco. It was so beautiful going across the bay. And again...back to learning. I was learning the rules of the sea road...tankers, sailors, commercial boats, who has the right of way and who doesn't. So fantastic to be at the helm of my boat and feeling the power of it in my hands. I am happy that Bocatina (her name) is up and running. Bring on the learning.
