我一直是很喜欢户外活动。来到澳洲之前，从小被叫野孩子，在一条人工运河边长大，儿时开心的记忆是爸爸在运河上教我学游泳的时光。在运河上和姐姐们一起从岸边漂流到对面岸上和看着哥哥在水边上捕虾摸螃蟹开心的情景。
来到澳洲后，在一个周末，记得姐姐带着我，和她家人，和爸妈一起去到bondi Beach，那天天气特别的美， 蓝天白云。海风吹在脸上，带着海的味道，非常舒服。海边都是玩水的人群，10来人在水中等着海浪越过身体，脸上充满了阳光和笑容。很多人在海上，穿着冲浪湿衣，趴在冲浪板上，在浪中，海上玩耍。沙滩上一群群的海鸥，有孩子在追逐着它们，我脱下运动鞋，赤脚走在沙滩上，也加入孩子们的行列之中。
太喜欢海了，喜欢风里带着的海的味道，海风带着浪花里的水汽轻抚到脸上温柔的感觉。听着海浪扑在岸边的声音，让人能放松下来。
我清清楚楚的记得第一次乘坐帆船的感觉。那是在离悉尼3个小时车程的Port Stephens，当时我去想看海豚，我看到有一个广告是一艘双体帆船和海豚，名字叫Imagine Cruises。 当时我想，看上去非常酷！于是我乘坐了那艘Imagine Cruises 帆船。那次经历非常的棒！看到海豚在船边、船头和我们船在奔跑比赛，这让我无比兴奋！回去港口的路上，在夕阳下扬帆，帆船的引擎关上，只听见风声和船身划过水的声音。帆船给我留下了美好的记忆！
第一次动手体验帆船实操是在悉尼港的一艘70英尺的赛艇上，在那时候我在泰国学会了水肺潜水，大爱大海，觉得海洋太神奇了，海里缤纷多彩的鱼，珊瑚的多姿多彩，给我打开了全新的世界。我回到悉尼寻找着如何我可以有更多机会亲近大海，于是帆船进入了我的脑海。在网上找到悉尼有一艘帆船可以体验2个小时，可以自己动手操做。上了船，船上的人非常热情，看了几次他们操作后，他们问我要不要试一下，还把帆船手套借给我。那种拉绳索，上绞盘，自己动手的感觉太好了，后来大家熟悉了后，聊天起来，发现船上玩帆船的人很多都是水肺潜水爱好者，哇！感觉自己找到了组织！帆船和潜水不是天生的一对吗？
好吧，也许你想学习帆船的原因和我不一样，欢迎大家来信和我分享，你想学习帆船的原因。帆船运动是一项令人兴奋和有幸福感的运动，它提供许多奖励，其中最重要的一点就是乐趣无穷。想象一下，白色的帆在蓝天白云的海上行驶，微风轻拂在您的脸上，以及船在切入水中时的柔和声音。帆船运动爱好者经常说，帆船运动不只是一项运动，更是一种生活方式。
我记得我第一次自驾租来的45尺单体船，带着72岁的妈妈和儿子，侄女们和朋友在昆士兰 圣灵群岛度过了8 天美妙神奇之旅。大堡礁世界闻名就不用我多说了，自驾帆船，航线自己做主。
每天在不同的岛湾下锚，白天探索不同的海岛、潜水、上岛徒步，自己在船上BBQ，做美食，喝着美酒。在船上观看夕阳西下的壮观，晚上看浩撼的银河，满头繁星。和家人一起，非常有质量的家庭亲密时光，和朋友把酒言欢聊天，难忘的美好时光！
这就是我要的探索性旅行的最佳方式了，不用每天收拾行李，带着自己的家去旅行，船就是自己熟悉舒适的家，家门外面就是诗和远方！还可以不断更新画面，更换不同的诗和不同的远方。
当您学习如何航行时，您不仅会非常熟悉船的各个方面，而且会从风到天气的各个方面去熟悉船与大自然环境的关系。你开始学会看海图，开始学会导航，开始能够理解那些在大海航时代扬帆启航发现新大陆的开拓者们的兴奋。这就是为什么学习帆船运动，可以如此充实，并能培养这种成就感的原因。
实际上，不用说，航行的积极性意味着对你和愿意去学习，去探索的人来说，这都是一种了不起的锻炼。
尽管帆船运动是一项积极的运动，并且是需要一定体力劳动，但它是令人难以置信的放松时光。
无论是享用美食，还是与家人和朋友共度时光，帆船都是船上娱乐的绝妙空间。
学习帆船的方法不必太复杂，对于任何想学习帆船运动的人，我建议的第一件事是他们要检查所在地区的初学者帆船运动学校。点击这里，查看位于悉尼的帆游帆船学校为初学者提供的帆船入门课程。学习了解如何航行，并改善您的生活质量，以帆船的名义让生活更精彩！

Why Sailing?
Learning to sail may seem complicated or beyond reach for many but there’s really nothing to learn the basics and there are many local organizations (yacht clubs, community parks and private schools) that offer affordable courses to those who want to experience life under sail.
Sailing has the power to change your outlook by spinning you in a new direction with different people and ambitions. It also provides a fresh perspective on how and where you spend your leisure time. Here are some of the most compelling reasons to learn to sail and set a course for new adventures.
Freedom & Sustainability
Boating is fun but sailing is grand. Harnessing the power of the wind and feeling the spray fly is amazingly freeing. It’s a great way to forget about the office and recharge your personal batteries. When done right, sailing is also a green and sustainable activity so you can start a new hobby without increasing your carbon footprint. Whether you just want to reset on an afternoon solo sail or get the blood flowing with a raucous upwind beat, there’s really no feeling like commanding a ship under sail.
航行有能力改变您的视野，使您朝着不同的人和野心向新的方向发展。它还为您如何以及在何处度过闲暇时光提供了新的视角。以下是一些学习帆船和为新冒险设定路线的最令人信服的理由。
Sailing has the power to change your outlook by spinning you in a new direction with different people and ambitions. It also provides a fresh perspective on how and where you spend your leisure time. Here are some of the most compelling reasons to learn to sail and set a course for new adventures.
Lifestyle and Community
Once you learn to sail (and even as you continue to improve), you’ll notice the strong sense of community that sailing creates. People dedicated to the lifestyle feel a kinship and you may find new friends. Whether you become a racer with strong ties to a yacht club, or a cruiser with a love of isolated anchorages, you’re bound to find like-minded individuals who will be more than happy to gather, share stories and help each other out.
Friends and Family
With busy schedules, it’s hard to carve out time for family and friends to gather and reconnect. However, a fun shared activity has a way of bringing people together and you may even be able to pry teenagers away from their phones to join in a physical endeavor that provides hours or days of enjoyment. It’s true that couples, families and friends who play together, tend stay together.
Competition and Goals
If leisurely daysails and weekends of discovery aren’t enough, you can always step up your sailing game and set some goals. Sailing doesn’t take long to learn but it can take a lifetime to master so there’s always some skill to work on. Become a master sail trimmer, navigator or helmsman and try your hand at racing. Whether around the buoys in a dinghy on a lake or on a large offshore racing machine, there’s no end to the kind and amount of racing you can do and the goals you can set.
Travel and History
Sailing opens up new ways to travel and see the world. Once you know how to sail, you can charter boats at bases around the world and enjoy water-based vacations that will take you off the beaten path. You can choose exotic locales or ones packed with history. Imagine cruising the turquoise waters of Tahiti or following the path of Odysseus throughout the Greek isles on a boat that is yours for the week. Of course, if you become really committed, you may end up buying your own yacht and sailing around the world, which brings with it a new set of challenges as well as accomplishments.
Sailing Education
Not all hobbies are created equal. Sailing can be particularly fulfilling and developing the skills takes you well beyond powerboating into a world that is dreamt of and envied by many. Perhaps the best part is that sailing crosses social structures and age groups so you can enjoy life under sail well into your twilight years. Why not start today?
