I Couldn’t Have Asked More of my Sailing Holidays

When my girlfriend proposed that we take a sailing vacation together, I was not thrilled about the idea. We are as different as night and day in many respects. We do not have the same ideas about romantic places at all. For her, the best place to get away from it all is in the middle of the wilderness. My idea of a romantic place, however, is Manhattan. We balance each other out pretty well, but it makes things difficult when we have to decide on vacations. Usually, we take turns, but this time I wasn’t sure if I could abide by her decision. You see, sailing holidays scared the pants off me.

Although everyone in the pictures from her sailing holiday pamphlet appeared to be having a good time, all I could think about was that they were just awaiting their inevitable death beneath the waves. I knew that the Greek sailing holidays company that she was considering had a pretty good safety record (I researched them at length) but even still, I could not get over my fear of not having land beneath my feet. I had never been on a sail boat trip before – even a small one.
