The Inverted Batten

You're just out having a nice sail when suddenly you look up...INVERTED BATTEN

[A Singing Sailor @SailingSongs]

'Cause I got a blank space, baby, and I'll write your name

[The Inverted Batten @InvertedBatton]

When it pours rain the night of a formal event.

"No I really think it'll match if I wear the black heels."

Sitting. Waiting for sailing to start back up again. Realizing that it won't for another 4 months. #sadness

[The Inverted Batten @InvertedBatton]

In season, "I love sailing, but it takes up so much fricking time"
One day into the off season, "I MISS SAILING"

[The Inverted Batten @InvertedBatton]

When you're knocking and tack...into another knock.

Mumbles to the wind: "Bro....do you even lift?"

Roommates, "Wait so you actually flipped?! You actually ended up in the ocean???"

That's unfortunately what happens when you flip

[The Inverted Batten @InvertedBatton]

"Was it bad?"
"Yeah..."
"How bad?"
"I flipped somewhere between 8-10 times. I lost track by the end"

Sometimes I have to do laundry solely to clean my gear for the next week #stupidgear

My coach: "What's your laser experience?"
Me: "Uummm none...."
My coach: "Okay, I think you should try it out today"

Blowing 15-20 #dying

When my roommate tells me to "seek medical attention" for my bruises. #lol

Since I've never sailed an FJ, I flipped the 1st and 2nd day of college practice because I rolled too hard #good1stimpression #facepalm

[The Inverted Batten @InvertedBatton]

College bound tomorrow

[The Inverted Batten @InvertedBatton]

My sailing kids once told me they were going to send me care packages at college. I don't think they know how happy that would make me

How lucky are we to live in a time where radar exists? Correct answer: so lucky #stormsstormsstorms
