Learn to Sail a HobieCat and Catch your Dinner
Overview
Becoming able to sail a sailboat only with the wind is a skill that will give you the sense of Freedom that only the ocean can give. You'll realize that you will be able to get to some of the most beautiful places on the planet with your new skills.
Having whale sightings (Dec - April), dolphins and turtles are always an exceptional surprise. Your vision and understanding of the sea changes completely. Being able to change course and adjust sails to quickly steer to flocks of birds that tell you the precise location of schools of fish makes you realize that you are able to adapt to the environment.
The experience of eating a Ceviche with the fish you just caught is incredibly rewarding.
Living this sailing experience will change your perception of the way you usually enjoy your trips to the beach with your family or friends.
