From reading many of your previous posts, I have noticed that you are an
intelligent, thinking person. That may be your undoing right there!

Boating does not make sense. We just do it because we like it. Some people
like it for different reasons than other people, and none make more sense
than the others.

So, if you want to cruise, then cruise. If you want to work towards
something, then do that. (It's a little like the old boating question: do
you want to get somewhere or do you want to __go__ somewhere?) If you're not
sure, you could always follow your original plan and see how your heart
adapts to that.

Will your cruising take you away from your daughter - pardon the decidely
amateur psycho-analysis - even for short periods of time? Could that be
what's really bothering you?

By happy and fortuitous circumstance, I suddenly find that not only am
I financially able to do the cruising I want, but my personal life has
fallen into place with my 17 yr old daughter seeming to be cured of
melanoma. So why am I suddenly not looking forward to it? We had a
great day of sailing on Sunday. The short hops will not involve too
much time away from family or work so what is it? Is it possible that
the work toward achieving it is better than the actual doing it?...
