One summer, for the first time, I was invited to go for a sail in the ocean. Previously, I had travelled on large steam boats, on ferries, and motorboats, but this was quite a different story!

Not only must any boat must be guided in the right direction, but barriers and sandbars must be avoided. Here, I discovered, there was much more to keep the captain busy.
