While I was at the beach, I learned how to sail. We sailed 420s out into the Long Island Sound. 420s are very small boats; they take two people to sail them. I worked the jib and balanced the boat.

We sailed in the Long Island Sound around Fishers Island, near Flat Hammock (a sand bar) and The Dumplings.

Fishers Island is a place where I feel at home and calm because there is not the feeling of everybody being rushed, there is also not a lot of noise that I am trying to not think about. Some times you hear the ferry and the other boats, but you don’t feel disturbed by that; it is more calming.
