Women that Motivate
By Gayle Finster
Here’s a link to US Sailing’s Sailor of the Week full listing. This is a great place to read about women involved in sailing. Their stories will inspire you. Be sure to go there from time to time to get ideas and encouragement from those getting the spray in their hair. And that’s not hair spray ladies!
I enjoyed reading about Connie Bischoff. She left the horse world to participate in sailing with her husband. That is the path I have taken as well. I spent many years playing at Dressage with my two Welsh Cobs. They were wonderful animals and they brought me much joy. They traveled on to horse heaven about a year apart and I turned to sailing. I happened to be married to a very experienced sailor so I felt I’d won the lottery! In the horse world you pay big bucks to hang out with those in the know. I have my very own coach with me each time I sail. Not only is he knowledgable but he is patient as well. I am very blessed.
