Sitting on the edge of a trimaran, legs dangling over the side, I watch the dolphins leaping out of the water as the sun sets in the distance. I’m on a Condor Sailing Adventure experience, just off Pensacola Beach in north-west Florida.
And unlike any other boat trip I’ve ever been on, it promises no leaning or seasickness and I can testify, as someone who doesn’t have the greatest of sea legs, these claims are not exaggerated.
Even when I’m allowed to take charge of the steering, under the calm instructions of Michael “Captain” Kirk, a nickname he’s had all his life, it feels as if we are gliding through the air.
