Sunfish Sailing

In this video I explain how small boat sailing is something that doesn't take a lot of cash to get into, can be done in larger lakes, and how to be prepared for the worst. I describe how I got my boat, trailer, and parts/materials for only $250, what essential gear I bring to be safe and ready for unknowns. I explain how challenging yourself with this new skill (or other adventurous skills and activities) can help boost self confidence. If you're bored at home, try this new adventure.
