 The Sailing Club
of Central Florida invites
you to share a
dream -- .
We
appreciate natural beauty while on the water. We feel joy in
simply messing around in sailboats and sharing the experience with good
friends, whether on local lakes or halfway around the world.
Having learned to harness the wind, we wish to
teach you to sail and appreciate
our sport.
John Masefield,
in his
poem "Sea Fever", expresses our collective feelings about our
sport. We encourage you to develop a sea fever, too.
Learn
to sail and join The Sailing Club.
Our club has activities for student and novice sailors. We also welcome
old salts willing to share their knowledge and skills with others. To
become a member, you need to complete the Basic
Sailing Course or demonstrate
your sailing skills.

"Sea-Fever"
I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking.
I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
I must down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted
knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.
By John
Masefield (1878-1967).
(English Poet Laureate, 1930-1967.) |
