I have never been one to really dive into politics, hate when a good meal get's interrupted of such conversation and as a rule of thumb: avoid it all together (especially at family holiday gatherings!)
This year, after a couple of years coming and going from these U.S. borders have felt a renewed interest brewing. It could have something to do with experiences abroad. Being verbally attacked and standing at defense when I agreed with every word but I am an American...not always proud, but will defend.
Today, I'm very proud.
So...how do we achieve the same in U.S. Sailing? We have an incredibly talented sailing community that never "stands-out", though we have stand-out sailors making waves all over the world but shadowed...
What do you think? What are the sailing communities' ideas for change? I can't imagine its push-button sailing...or only thinking "Olympic Dream" when encouraging youth to try the sport.
The perception of sailing to the general American public is all over the place. Just an opinion, maybe rally as a collective sailing community verse class associations and "type-of"...a sailor is a sailor no matter "what" they sail on...
Just a ramble...
