第一篇
我一直是很喜歡戶外活動。來到澳洲之前，從小被叫野孩子，在一條人工運河邊長大，兒時開心的記憶是爸爸在運河上教我學游泳的時光。在運河上和姐姐們一起從岸邊漂流到對面岸上和看着哥哥在水邊上捕蝦摸螃蟹開心的情景。
來到澳洲後，在一個周末，記得姐姐帶着我，和她家人，和爸媽一起去到bondi Beach，那天天氣特別的美， 藍天白雲。海風吹在臉上，帶着海的味道，非常舒服。海邊都是玩水的人群，10來人在水中等着海浪越過身體，臉上充滿了陽光和笑容。很多人在海上，穿着衝浪濕衣，趴在衝浪板上，在浪中，海上玩耍。沙灘上一群群的海鷗，有孩子在追逐着它們，我脫下運動鞋，赤腳走在沙灘上，也加入孩子們的行列之中。
太喜歡海了，喜歡風裡帶着的海的味道，海風帶着浪花里的水汽輕撫到臉上溫柔的感覺。聽着海浪撲在岸邊的聲音，讓人能放鬆下來。
我清清楚楚的記得第一次乘坐帆船的感覺。那是在離悉尼3個小時車程的Port Stephens，當時我去想看海豚，我看到有一個廣告是一艘雙體帆船和海豚，名字叫Imagine Cruises。 當時我想，看上去非常酷！於是我乘坐了那艘Imagine Cruises 帆船。那次經歷非常的棒！看到海豚在船邊、船頭和我們船在奔跑比賽，這讓我無比興奮！回去港口的路上，在夕陽下揚帆，帆船的引擎關上，只聽見風聲和船身划過水的聲音。帆船給我留下了美好的記憶！
第一次動手體驗帆船實操是在悉尼港的一艘70英尺的賽艇上，在那時候我在泰國學會了水肺潛水，大愛大海，覺得海洋太神奇了，海里繽紛多彩的魚，珊瑚的多姿多彩，給我打開了全新的世界。我回到悉尼尋找着如何我可以有更多機會親近大海，於是帆船進入了我的腦海。在網上找到悉尼有一艘帆船可以體驗2個小時，可以自己動手操做。上了船，船上的人非常熱情，看了幾次他們操作後，他們問我要不要試一下，還把帆船手套借給我。那種拉繩索，上絞盤，自己動手的感覺太好了，後來大家熟悉了後，聊天起來，發現船上玩帆船的人很多都是水肺潛水愛好者，哇！感覺自己找到了組織！帆船和潛水不是天生的一對嗎？
好吧，也許你想學習帆船的原因和我不一樣，歡迎大家來信和我分享，你想學習帆船的原因。帆船運動是一項令人興奮和有幸福感的運動，它提供許多獎勵，其中最重要的一點就是樂趣無窮。想像一下，白色的帆在藍天白雲的海上行駛，微風輕拂在您的臉上，以及船在切入水中時的柔和聲音。帆船運動愛好者經常說，帆船運動不只是一項運動，更是一種生活方式。
我記得我第一次自駕租來的45尺單體船，帶着72歲的媽媽和兒子，侄女們和朋友在昆士蘭 聖靈群島度過了8 天美妙神奇之旅。大堡礁世界聞名就不用我多說了，自駕帆船，航線自己做主。
每天在不同的島灣下錨，白天探索不同的海島、潛水、上島徒步，自己在船上BBQ，做美食，喝着美酒。在船上觀看夕陽西下的壯觀，晚上看浩撼的銀河，滿頭繁星。和家人一起，非常有質量的家庭親密時光，和朋友把酒言歡聊天，難忘的美好時光！
這就是我要的探索性旅行的最佳方式了，不用每天收拾行李，帶着自己的家去旅行，船就是自己熟悉舒適的家，家門外面就是詩和遠方！還可以不斷更新畫面，更換不同的詩和不同的遠方。
當您學習如何航行時，您不僅會非常熟悉船的各個方面，而且會從風到天氣的各個方面去熟悉船與大自然環境的關係。你開始學會看海圖，開始學會導航，開始能夠理解那些在大海航時代揚帆啟航發現新大陸的開拓者們的興奮。這就是為什麼學習帆船運動，可以如此充實，並能培養這種成就感的原因。
實際上，不用說，航行的積極性意味着對你和願意去學習，去探索的人來說，這都是一種了不起的鍛煉。
儘管帆船運動是一項積極的運動，並且是需要一定體力勞動，但它是令人難以置信的放鬆時光。
無論是享用美食，還是與家人和朋友共度時光，帆船都是船上娛樂的絕妙空間。
學習帆船的方法不必太複雜，對於任何想學習帆船運動的人，我建議的第一件事是他們要檢查所在地區的初學者帆船運動學校。點擊這裡，查看位於悉尼的帆游帆船學校為初學者提供的帆船入門課程。學習了解如何航行，並改善您的生活質量，以帆船的名義讓生活更精彩！

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.
航行有能力改變您的視野，使您朝着不同的人和野心向新的方向發展。它還為您如何以及在何處度過閑暇時光提供了新的視角。以下是一些學習帆船和為新冒險設定路線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?
