Three Great Places To Sail

The Relationship Cure: A 5 Step Guide to Strengthening Your Marriage, Family, and Friendships

You probably already know all your favorite sailing spots if you own a sailboat of your own. But even if you do not own your own sailboat, this should not be any reason for you to miss out on the fun of sailing; after all, there are sailboats for rent all over the world. In fact, in many respects, renting a boat is even better than owning a boat. When you rent, you avoid the hassle of maintenance and of having to find a spot for the boat when it is not in use. Furthermore, renters are free to travel all over the world, renting boats where they go and sailing wherever they choose. Of course, you do not have to go far away to find good sailing; there is plenty of great sailing right around America.

One of the most covetous sailing spots in all the world is the waters off the northeast coast of the US. Many avid sailors swear that this is the best sailing you can find anywhere in the world, from Chesapeake Bay to Cape Cod to the coast of Maine. While the weather can be cold, even in the summer, the winds are great and the beauty is tough to compete with. As far as most sailors can see it, this area is everything sailing is supposed to be.

Also, consider the Florida Keys as a sailing destination if you are thinking of finding something more laid-back and luxurious. The weather here is almost always great, unlike the weather on the waters of the Northeast. If you aspire to see yourself as a "true sailor," this area might just feel a bit touristy for your tastes, but one reason why this area is so popular is, quite frankly, because it is a great place to visit.

To find the perfect blend of "true sailing" and great weather, you have to travel a bit further south than the Florida Keys, heading down to the British Virgin Islands. The only problem with the British Virgin Islands is that - with how beautiful it is, and with how many places there are for you to explore - you might not ever want to leave!

You can fulfill your sailing desires without straying too far from your home in America, no matter what your sailing desires might be. And if you do not own a boat of your own, the possibilities are especially endless.
