This is an afterword of a trip. I’m fleeing thankful and enjoyable fully that can’t say enough to happy. I appreciate my friends who gave me great experience and unforgettable memory. During a final log, the view was flowing slowly by sailing. The rising tide of the sea was against us. It’s a bit strange to think. Perhaps, the earth knows I don’t wanna finish this trip.
I was thinking about why this trip was so good. The answer is the people who have taken part in a trip. The people were so amazing.
For instance, everyone has their own ways of sailing including me. It doesn’t matter that if it is different from my way because we are not the same. The importance is acceptable to other ways. We should get other opinions. Also, let’s share good and bad experiences, these would be useful for the sudden happenings on the ocean. You know, some accidents come with the rough sea and it is hard to think about what should I do. If I find the way in the situation, it could be from my experiences or your experiences that you told me.
旅の最後に思う事は、言い足りない程の有難うと楽しかった。
なぜこんなにも素晴らしいと感じるのだろうと考えた時に、浮かんだのは「人柄」という2文字でした。そう思える人達と旅ができて、僕はとても恵まれた環境にいるのだなぁ。と心底感じながら、ゆっくりと流れる景色を見ていました。
セイリングのやり方は十人十色。その人のやり方があって、僕のやり方がある。両方を否定せずに、両方を認める。これが、簡単そうで難しい。
海は楽しいけど、海は怖い。
怖い時に役に立つのは誰かの経験や失敗談、その人のやり方だと思う。そう考えると、誰かが提案したやり方を頭ごなしにダメと言わず、受け入れる心はヨットに乗る上での安全策なのかもしれない。
