Author Scott Sadil finishes one voyage, plans next

Sadil wrote about building his dory, Tia, and the challenges he faced learning to sail in the Gorge, in a two-part feature he sold to Small Craft Advisor. “Part one ends after the first day of my maiden voyage, when I’m right back where I launched after heading the opposite direction I was supposed to go,” said Sadil. “You have to get used to doing things like that if you’re going to try to learn anything entirely new.” Having never owned, sailed, rowed, or built a boat before Tia, Sadil says he still can’t figure out why he’s suddenly captivated by boats.
