Are you sad because he has a life?


What you lubbers choose to call a *life* is little
more than an illusion. You lubbers end up being slaves
to what your society calls the *norm*. What you really
are is a bunch of automatons who proceed through life
pretty much in lock step with all the other marching
drones. What you call a life, we real sailors call
unnecessary clutter which is the result of conspicuous
consumerism. Your life is a sham, a construct that
benefits those who control you the most and you the
least.

So, don't presume to judge a free man on the basis
of your slavery.


I live aboard year and sail 24/7 (season permitting)
with the exception of winters when I still live on
my boat but can't sail. It's not fun sailing the
North Atlantic in the winters. So don't judge.


Good for you but I shall judge anyhow. Why not
sail to milder climes where winters ARE pleasant?

One of the best things about a well-found sailing
vessel is it has the capability to go anywhere the
sailor wishes to go.

If you wish to remain in an area of the world where
the winters are no fun then it might be concluded
that you aren't much of a sailor.
