I “discovered” this perfect thing to do in Los Angeles and every time I mention it I feel torn: it’s so special I don’t want everyone to know about it, but it’s so special I can’t help but talk about it.

I took my first day sail on the Cruise Invictus about three years ago when my mom was in town.  She loves the water.  At first, all my searches for cruises turned up (out-of-season) whale-watching trips, and booze cruises–not exactly the scene for a 70-year-old.  But then I found Cruise Invictus.  I couldn’t know how perfect it would be when I booked it, but I had a feeling.  We had an amazing day sail.  There were four other people aboard.  Yummy snacks were served and some of the others brought and enjoyed their own wine.  And it was, well, perfect.
