## Caption

6/6 from my #sponsored creative series in @theouterbanksnc with @borderfreetravels who took this photo with my camera while we were out on the water with Sail Outer Banks AND five years to the day that I was on another sailboat in Costa Brava • This was a sort of "saved the best for last" kind of deal since this is how we spent our last evening in the #OBX. There is a short list of things that bring out a smile this big on my face and sailing is one of them! When we were making our list of activities we wanted to try out during our visit to The Outer Banks, sailing was at the top for me. Then, when @jcrew gifted me the 'Hello, Sailor!' top that I'm wearing in this photo, which is still for sale FYI, I saw it all come together. Thankfully, Kristen felt the same way and we both loved our experience with Katherine and Dan who own the 41 ft teak-trimmed boat we sailed on and who were a joy to learn from as we navigated the waters of first Roanoke Sound and then up into Albemarle Sound. Kristen and I both were able to take a turn at the helm and I had flashbacks to learning how to sail at summer camp when I was a kid on little sailboats with not much more than a heavy keel and a mast!! As with almost everything, the company truly made the experience and I found myself grateful to have been able to work all week with such a wonderful person @borderfreetravels, constantly meeting people as friendly and open as Katherine and Dan were. The people are what make The Outer Banks special so if you are visiting, please check out www dot Sail Outer Banks dot com to book a few hours on this Gulfstar with this wonderful couple who have decades of experience on the water. They've inspired a desire in me to take sailing lessons back home this summer! #OBXNow #jcrewalways #jcrewstyle #sailing⛵️ #visitnc #getolympus
