Hi, Jonny here. I love to go sailing. It's fast and fun! The fresh air blowing past you as you slice through the water, the speed of the boat, the beauty of the sea or lake, it's great! Except, of course, when you're chasing bad guys like Derek Armwood. Most of the time, though, it's cool, and there are lots of places you can go sailing, from lakes to bays to oceans. Here are some web sites that give more information on sailing, how to do it safely, whom to contact and, of course, where to go. Surf around and you're sure to find out how you can get on board and in the water fast!
