National Women's Sailing Association Conference

I have just returned from the annual Nationa Women's Sailing Association conference in Marblehead, MA. It is a one day, very busy conference with both on the water and classroom seminars. It was a blast. I attented a seminar by Nancy Early who is from Washington state, and does long distance women only cruises, and has circumnavigated. She has lots of great stories, advice, and I am wicked jealous. I did a presentation on Planning a Coastal Cruise. I had a good time, and didn't have any problem talking for an entire hour and a half!! I surprised myself. Some friends of mine took splicing classes, up the mast, and crew overboard. It was at the Corinthian Yacht Club, which is beautiful. We all stayed in a suite at the club, and had a very nice girly weekend. We are all going back next year. I have been asked to give the presentation on diesel engine maintenance, and am looking forward to that. My 1st Women Under Sail class is this coming weekend. Yippeeeee
