Hello,
I can't find the meaning of the idiom: "take on its own momentum", could you help me with it. The context is:
Dad had always wanted to sail across the Atlantic single-handed, but Mum discouraged him because she was worried. But he and I talked about it, and as I got better at sailing it kind of took on its own momentum. I was fourteen when I did it - but Dad followed me in a back-up boat to make sure I was all right.
Does it mean that the long wished moment has come?
Denis.
