Yesterday I realized a long awaited dream to walk the decks of the USS Constitution.Sailors blood runs through my veins with sailing always being more of a passion than a recreation. I have owned four sailboats in my life all a bit more technically equipped and faster than past boats. The Beneteau, my last sailboat, was on the edge of everything fast in a boat. With its wing keel, destroyer bow and Mylar sails she was a creature of the wind.
Standing on the deck of the USS Constitution was a thrill. Her heart still beats strong throughout her planks and she is a Grand Lady of the wind and sea.
My thanks to the US Navy for keeping her ship shape, sea worthy and a commissioned ship of the line.
Listen!!! Can you hear her heart?
