Hershy here: I decided to start this blog, to record the journey from its beginning. All my life I have dreamed of sailing the high-seas, and all my life have felt I am either too poor, too busy, to ill-equipped, or too unworthy to take the steps necessary to realize my dream and live it.
Yesterday, I called the sailing school. Well, actually I contacted two schools, both have sailing-classes in Haifa, which is closer to Tiberias (where we currently live) than Tel-Aviv would be.
I think we will utilize the courses offered by the https://www.bluewave.co.il school. The instructor speaks fluent English, for one. And the school seems more flexible, as well.
When I say, ‘I think’, it usually means that we (Salome and I) both agree that we are thinking along these lines (she’ll let me know quickly when she doesn’t…).
The course to obtain a Skipper’s Licence will cost a little less than 10,000 shekel ($3100) and takes about 5 months of study, practice and exams.
We are psyched.
